Last weekend I was thrilled to attend the opening of #thebeastandtheswarm, the sonic art installation by Jenny Sunesson and Åsa Stjerna, commissioned by @arcticauditories, in downtown #tromsø. Up until January, 2027. Make your way to the waterfront and have a listen between 10 - 19 daily.

The Nordic Paradox: even the world’s most equal countries are failing to reduce violence against women

Most prescient, clear/eyed work of writing I’ve read on reorg. Read it. Then act. “Call your senators. Call your representative. Not next week or later. Now. Tell them this is not a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and that Congress must intervene.”

Apparently there is a "personal branding" workshop today @ntnu. My brand while I'm in Boston when people ask me where I am based, I just tell them, NTNU, it's like a Norwegian MIT, and suddenly, they get it. #itworks

Trying your best in a second language? Here’s why native speakers seem so rude
Judgements of politeness go beyond language and culture – they are also deeply tied to emotion and moral intuition.

A great group of interdisciplinary PhDs worked with me 1.5 yr to produce the Mjøsa Assessment. Of interest to those wanting to know more about the lake and its surroundings. The entire report is available på norsk: www.ntnu.no/oppdrag-mjos... and English: www.ntnu.edu/mission-mjos...
