I’m ready to be shilling for the Norwegian Green Party this parliamentary election year, because we need a change, and it can’t be yet another shade of blue-suit-center-right. I know they won’t be big, but if they get over the 4% line the other parties can’t ignore them anymore.

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where everyone cared about their job and serving others.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

Even worse: it’s projection by proxy. He’s just parroting what Putin told Trump, word for word.

Europe urgently needs its own plan of action concerning Ukraine and our security, or else other global players will decide about our future. Not necessarily in line with our own interest. This plan must be prepared now. There’s no time to lose.

Det er helt latterlig at den norske debatten om Musk henfaller til en idiot-diskusjon om noen løpesedler på biler. Norge investerer, direkte og indirekte, enorme summer i selskapet til en mann som aktivt undergraver europeiske demokratier. Det er helt uholdbart.

@havardmn.bsky.social hadde en veldig fin post på LinkedIn for noen dager siden, som jeg har tenkt på og syns det er verdt å ta med inn her: "På tide å trene de demokratiske musklene." Vi vet at institusjonene og vår aksept for dem er et kriterie for demokratiet. (1/5)

Klima og natur er i krise. Vi trenger STORE NYE reformer, men hva skjer? Vi må kjempe med alle krefter for å unngå at alt blir VERRE. 50 år gamle prinsipper for vern av vassdrag angripes. Det bygges motorvei i våtmark man vernet i 1990. Det presses på for å åpne for gruvedrift i havet. Helt utrolig!

Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Low vaccination rates lead to tragic outcomes. There’s no room for conspiracies—only evidence-based medicine. Vaccines save lives. Vaccines prevent suffering. We can’t afford to walk backward and relearn painful lessons that past generations already paid for. #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth

COVID could have been this big unifying moment where the U.S. abandoned neoliberal free market ideology and passed major, lasting reforms. But Dems and the left didn’t capitalize and the right did, working to sow more confusion and fear to radicalize people. This is the story I’ve been covering.

All indirects on NIH grants cut to 15% (from 30-50%), applied directly and retroactively… That’s going to hit state flagship colleges and R1 institutions very very hard, their all going into the red within a year…
