CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Best possible location for the ECREA Communication History Workshop 2025 on the theme of networks. Why? Because World Wide Web was founded here. First panel with three of its founding fathers, Robert Cailliau, Francois Flückiger and Pier Giorgio Innocenti.

The wise owl. This engraving of 1625 features a comment on the art of being an ignorant. A short 🧵 for #skystorians.
The engraving from Cornelis Bloemaert is titled "The Wise Owl", and was made around 1625. You see an own with specs standing on a book next to a candle.

Fascinating cross-disciplinary perspectives in today’s conference celebrating ”20 years of Sound Environments” at Lund University. I was honoured to be invited to speak about my #airraidsirens. And then we all took a refreshing #soundbath, led by artist Tina Quartey. www.lmc.lu.se/aktiviteter/...

Never too late for a two-day crash course on the biblical apocalyptic imaginary. 📖 This Cold War historian’s head is now filled with the Book of Daniel, the Book of Revelation, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. So happy to learn from my competent colleagues in the RJ program #attheendoftheworld

Kvinnliga professorer på HT i Lund är en skamligt krympande skara och ingen jämställdhetsambition har funnits de senaste åren. Men två av de ytterst få som nu finns (särskilt rekryterade under tidigare ledning) är klart lysande stjärnor. I fjol fick Svenungsson ett RJ-program och i år Gullberg! ✅ ✅

Lund 10-11 okt. Magnus Hjort från MPF inledde och ministern för civilt försvar Carl-Oskar Bohlin avrundade den första svenska forskningskonferensen om psykförsvar. Eller 2000-talets första iaf. På 1950-talet hölls ju liknande konferenser. Något för framtidens vetenskapshistoriker att studera.
