Jeg har fått fire barn. Jeg forlater ikke akademia
Neste gang noen spør meg: «Er mannen din støttende når du reiser så mye?» skal jeg puste, smile og svare: Ja. Selvfølgelig. Det er 2026.

Basically feminism for the past 250 years has been a struggle to establish that women are people endowed with certain inalienable rights, and among those rights are life, liberty, and bodily autonomy.

When I saw Chomsky was in the Epstein files, I knew there'd be people I'd worked with - and I was right. As I dug into it, a horrifying picture of academia emerged. I wrote it up, for @newlinesmag.bsky.social

Tydelig svar fra UiBs rektor og rektorkandidat: UiB skal være tydelige forkjempere for den akademiske friheten ved å støtte UiB-forskere under press, jobbe nasjonalt og internasjonalt for å reverse endringer i USA og bygge beredskap for å sikre fri forskning i Norge og Europa, støtte kollegaer i USA

Støtt fri forskning ved å skrive ut denne plakaten på et A4-ark, gå utenfor kontoret ditt kl 12 i dag og ta en selfie av deg selv med plakaten - så poster du det på sosiale medier med hashtag #standupforscience2025. Er du i Bergen så kom gjerne på Muséplassen kl 12. Dette er tiden for å si fra!!
