I’m always happy to discuss the pros and cons of academic/neuroscience life in Denmark. Like any small European country there are some hurdles but it is overall an excellent place to be. We’re happy here.
We are seeking talented researchers for multiple postdoctoral positions in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, or Statistical Genetics at the Pioneer Centre for SMARTbiomed at Aarhus University, Denmark. international.au.dk/about/profil...
Yes this is ridiculous. Besides people that get fired or loose money on investments not buying cars, here in Europe Tesla has become the car of shame. Fortunately there are many other good EV options.
The positions are based at Aarhus University, in Aarhus Denmark, but specific projects will be in collaboration researchers at Oxford University, the University of Copenhagen and other Danish research institutes. See more information on the Pioneer Centre for SMARTbiomed here smartbiomed.dk
We're hiring Pioneer Fellow Postdocs!!
Join us at the Pioneer Centre for SMARTbiomed to develop innovative methods in epidemiology, biostatistics, and statistical genetics, working with big biomedical data.

He’s trying, and I worry it will destroy NATO. This crazy expansionist behavior is extremely scary, both for Europe and the world.
ESHG Abstract Deadline Reminder!
The Submission Deadline for #ESHG2025 is in a week (Jan 30)!
Please join us this spring (May 24-27) in Milan, Italy, for another fun and exciting ESHG conference!

Den store Danmarks Indsamling starter i dag. Jaja, man kan byde på frokost, rundvisning osv. med folketingsmedlemmer - men man kan også opleve det aarhusianske dødsmetalband Livløs sammen med folketingets eneste heavy metal-ordfører 🤘 Tak til bandet for støtten #dkpol

Kort før jul lavede regeringen sammen med SF, LA, Danmarksdemokraterne og Konservative nogle småjusteringer af den dumme, dyre og dybt skadelige kandidatreform. Det er dog som et plaster på et åbent benbrud. Det skriver jeg om i @Altingetdk #dkpol

Interesting work! By mapping many medical ontologies to the same embedding space we can go beyond the need of time-consuming data mapping and harmonization.
