Jøder angrepet under Krystallnatt-markering. I Norge. I 2025. Rasisme finner nye veier.

In light of James Watson's death, I post this article which clarifies Rosalind Franklin's contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA. It is richer than the conventional narrative. https://t.co/BW5abtUUba

Scientific publishing is now an industry. Students write to graduate. Academics publish to survive. Journals accept to profit. Everyone’s producing, but almost nobody is reading. When did it change from the creation of knowledge to a thriving business sector, in which shady

Har ni tänkt på att lärarna på 80-talet hade summativa poängprov, gjorde ett snitt av elevens prestationer på dem vilket blev betyget. De arbetade inte formativt. Ändå var bedömningen mer likvärdig, eleverna var inte lika stressade och de lärde sig mer. Tänka sig.

As James Watson, co - discoverer of the DNA double helix structure, has passed today (RIP), I want to address an important issue: most modern visualizations of the DNA double helix are actually WRONG. The original Watson-Crick "bands wrapped around a rod" picture depiction is

It is not just the mother’s mitochondria anymore. For decades, we have believed that mitochondrial traits are passed only through the maternal line because mitochondria come from the egg as they occupy too much space to be carried by spermatozoids. This new study shows that

We are now living in the future!

Scientific breakthroughs are rarely unique; someone else would’ve made them soon enough. But when prominent scientists cause harm, that harm isn’t inevitable; the world might simply have been better had the harm not been inflicted.

PhDs need to actually defend their PhD…in combat…against a senior professor…to the death. Only way to address the academic job market

This is a 10 minute walk? I’m too European for this

Att det tar fem månader från examen i medie-och kommunikation till första jobbet, och att hen under den tiden bor hos sin mor för att boende är dyrt i huvudstaden, är möjligen inte en nyhet värd helsidor i största dagstidningen, alldeles oavsett partibok.

A Harvard student told me something I can't stop thinking about. When they go to the library, every single screen has ChatGPT open. Homework that used to take hours now takes minutes. But then they talk to alums who say entry-level roles are basically gone. The jobs they

Since I adhere to the principe of not saying bad things about the dead, Jim at least did build some decent molecular models based on Rosalind Franklin's data and Francis Crick's models in the 1950s that seem to have stood the test of time.

Hela granskningen ligger tydligen öppen, utan betalvägg. Sydsvenskan valde att låsa upp för att kunna nå en viktig målgrupp: Hedersutsatta unga. Det är en stor grupp. I en undersökning 2018 uppgav 24% av niondeklassare i Malmö att de förväntas vara oskulder när de gifter sig.

What to call your prof

Student evaluations are a great way to learn that you’re the best teacher ever who should quit because you suck at teaching

Academics take note

Idag firar vi tvåspråkiga Finland. Svenskan är en viktig del av Finlands kulturarv och identitet. Glad svenska dagen!
