#introduction Hello, I'm just looking into this #some instans - I'm visiting from #mastodon - I'm also a #twitterquitter and I still miss some of the great conversations I was part of.
I'm an intellectual historian, associate professor at teacher #education in #Denmark My key interests are education in general, #deliberative#democracy and societal questions regarding #newtechnology as for example #ai
US Defense Secretary Austin tells reporters today the #Ukrainian Defense Contact Group (an alliance of 54 countries) committed to doing even more to secure the fight for freedom by the Ukrainians.
Every time I go to the #doctor in #Denmark I’m always shocked at the difference between US #healthcare and EU healthcare in how stressed the doctor looks.
The last three times I went to a doctor in Chicago, every general practitioner I interacted with looked worked to death. Bags under their eyes, too busy to make eye contact with me. Just always typing on the computer and then leaving the room. Truly looked like the worst job on the planet.
Denmark I needed a doctors appointment. My primary doctors office is closed for training, so I got routed to another office. Same day appointment, go in and the doctor looks normal. We have 30 minutes, I use 20 of them, he doesn’t seem stressed or worried at all.
I pass by a group of doctors joking in a break room with some coffee and cake. It looks like a normal job. A lot is made of how bad the US system is for patients but you don’t realize how horrible it is for doctors until you see doctors allowed to be normal people.
BREAKING 🚨 Activists & scientists from @ExtinctionR#Denmark and @ScientistRebellion Denmark are occupying the #climate ministry in Copenhagen, demanding the resignation of the climate minister Lars Aagaard. Denmark's #emissions are increasing, the government is failing, and time is running out.
Danish Min Def meets with colleagues Monday, expects final model ready within a month with the training taking "several months".
"Denmark will push hard to make this a prioritized effort"
@anderspuck , military analyst at the Defence Academy estimates that if the pilots are experienced fighter pilots cross training can be done in a few months.
Act 2 of #BefriJorden took place yesterday, over 1,000 people slow-marching and then sitting down on the street in Copenhagen. The scientists were there too with a simple message: #TheScienceIsClear: industrial monoculture farming is detroying nature and endangering our health, and we need to immediately transition to regenerative forms of food production. We demanded the protection of #nature, the end of #pesticides and a stop to new investments in destructive forms of #agriculture in #Denmark.
The government responded by arresting over 100 people, including several researchers and academics.
@FerRacimo, evolutionary biologist from SR #Denmark explained why he was joining the protest: "Denmark must fulfill its international promises to protect nature and finally end its destructive agricultural practices" #BefriJorden#dkgreen 6/n
It’s Thursday, so it’s #Eurovision semi-final 2 day. Up first is #Denmark who (a) is stood so close to camera that if he sneezes we’ll all have to change our shirts, (b) is apparently 25‽? How??
Apparantly, the singer from #Denmark has been singing rather falsely on the rehearsals, but we all keep our fingers crossed that doesn't happen tonight. #ESC#ESC2023#Eurovision
BREAKING 🔥 Scientists from @ScientistRebellion and artists from @ExtinctionR and "Forfattere Ser Grønt" are occupying the biggest industrial #farming#lobby in #Denmark (Landbrug og Fødevarer) to demand an end to #lobbyism in food production, and an immediate transition away from the destructive, #colonial and undemocratic farming practices that prevail in Denmark, and which are responsible for ~30% of the country's #CO2#emissions. #TheScienceIsClear#BefriJorden (1/n)
@ScientistRebellion@ExtinctionR The artists' performance named 'The last pigs' calls for an end to #industrial animal #farming which kills the equivalent of 5 pigs per people per year in #Denmark. Artists wore #mourning veils, held speeches and sung before letting free of their veils from all floors of the main hall. (2/n)
#Denmark is also forcing #Indigenous communities to move from their land by exporting #emissions and #pollution to #SouthAmerica, where they grow soy monoculture on an area equivalent to almost 20% of the Danish territory. (6/n)
