Tyrone Martinsson was, untill his illness, my primary PhD advisor. His kindness and generosity will be missed by many. My heart goes out to family and friends who knew him best.

1000 forskare varnar för regeringens vetenskapsförakt

"Regeringen har därmed ignorerat Naturvårdsverkets vetenskapliga analys. [...] Ännu ett exempel på hur politiker prioriterar specifika särintressen, i stället för att lyssna på etablerad expertis och forskning."

Trump hatar forskningen för att den hindrar hans korståg

Det enda goda med Trumps angrepp på Harvard är att vi inte längre tänker ”sånt händer inte här”. Ytterst gäller striden hur vi kan förstå världen – och när USA isolerar sig måste Tidöregeringen tänka ...

Azoulay writes ”Idioms such as ‘being inundated with images’, or the older versions of ‘compassion fatigue’, or ‘images of suffering’, are all used to make people think that what is at stake is the circulation of images and not what these images are...”

Krönika: Det blev en helg med museibesök och det var en minst sagt blandad upplevelse. En utställning var något av det mest dystopiska mina ögon varit med om. www.natursidan.se/nyheter/kron...

Krönika: Industripropagandans museum

Man skulle kunna tro att man var inne i skogsindustrin alldeles egna museum, men istället kostade det pengar att titta på reklam för skogsavverkning.

This is Nämforsen, one of Sweden’s most storied river rapids turned hydropower dam. My rephotographic montage (2022) shows the site both dewatered and during the court-ordered practice of releasing “tourist-water”. Part of my project #revisionandtheriver where I try to storytell a place in change.

Great resource I wish I had ten years ago😅Also a lesson from a kickstarter campaign is that it is seen as taxable income some places, like Sweden, so count that in when considering a campaign!
