A promise I shall keep:

Last Wednesday, we - the #astronomy club at #LundUniversity - had the absolute pleasure of listening to a talk by Pablo L. Finkel.

He introduced us to the world of lipid biomarkers and the search for life on Mars! 🔎👽

I just finished my lecture at the #KnutLundmark Days at #LundUniversity, organised by the #AstronomicalYouth #AU in #Sweden.

I love giving lectures/talks in front of high-school students who are excited about #astronomy.

I will upload my slides to my webpage in the coming days 🙆‍♀️

PhD position in Sociology for the ERC-funded project “ENDINGS”

An opportunity to work with Lea Fuenfschilling on a project which challenges the current focus of innovation research on sustainability transitions and instead studies if and how different types of knowledges erode and whether they ever go extinct.

To those among my few thousand followers who don't know me intimately, here's a brief introduction.

I did my Ph.D. with @mariawimber in which I was mainly interested in how hippocampus represents episodic memories. I empirically tested two computational models of how the theta rhythm separates 1) encoding and retrieval and 2) competing memories.

After this I did two relatively short postdocs: one in #LundUniversity and one at #MPIBerlin.

Lately, I have become interested in how the brain builds up a representation of an environment, that being spatial or not. I am interested in what role uncertainty has, how high-dimensional memories can be kept across time simultaneously as the brain must abstract these into lower dimensions, and in what way the brain can retrieve the previously learned information in the most efficient number of dimensions to guide decisions. The research, conducted at the Doeller lab, spans episodic memories, decision making, reinforcement learning and to some extent language.

In contrast to Jacques Lacan who apparently was infuriatingly indifferent as to whether it was worthwhile reading his essays, my goal is to write in a way that is easy and enjoyable ro read. My dream is to write at least one article that readers will enjoy as much as they would enjoy reading a good novel.

Besides my interest in science, I love reading books, where mythology, symbols and psychoanalysis are favourite subjects. In all times, myths of man have flourished and, as Joseph Campbell puts it "Religion, philosophy, arts, the social forms of primitive and historic man, prime discoveries in science and technology, the very dreams that blister sleep, boil up from the basic, magic ring of myth".

#introductions Hi everyone. I am a #sociologist from Berlin working at #Lunduniversity in Sweden about #capitalism, #inequality, #sustainability, #degrowth, #sustainable welfare and #climatecrisis. Looking forward to meeting you!

Lets start this with an #introduction and a random picture from my #planetarium. I got my Ph.D. in #Astrophysics from #LundUniversity a number of years ago and am still there, now running the #Planetarium (among other things). Recently I have been doing things like creating #fulldome shows, organising various astro-events, taking people #observing and producing an astro-#podcast: www.astro.lu.se/TheMeridian

Listen to the experts they say.
Lund University and Imperial College London warned that #Sweden would pay high price for its #lockdown rejection: 40 000 deaths by 1st May and almost 100 000 deaths by June!
They called to lockdown!
They overshot their prediction by ca. 95 000 deaths. 😨
