I liked some quotes in this article:
If you are going to teach science, you must give it in a historical context: you must stress how our current knowledge is the accumulation of course corrections. You must stress how it is a work in progress.
Given that science is fundamentally subversive, how could it emerge and survive? I believe that scientific thinking is part of a broader ideology that gives its bearers an evolutionary edge. Simply put, societies that make room for science have an edge. They build and deploy better technology. They adapt more quickly to change.
Genom ett nytt samråd har byggprojektet Samsö, som var på samråd 2013, åter blivit aktuellt. Projektet innebär att Hökarängen och Farsta byggs ihop genom en förlängning av Lingvägen. I den nya planen föreslås tre bostadshus och en förskola samt en utbyggnad av Kvickenstorpsskolan.

Copenhagen is a great city, but it's not Amsterdam ... or any other Dutch city for that matter. This video explores the differences in street design taken by Copenhagen and citites in the Netherlands, to discover some of the finer points of what makes for great urban design.
The European Clean Hydrogen Alliance brings together industry, national and local public authorities, civil society and other stakeholders. It is strongly anchored in the hydrogen value chain, covering renewable and low-carbon hydrogen from production via transmission to mobility, industry, energy, and heating applications.
This could perhaps be a much more stable alternative to my reverse SSH tunnels for keeping connections with various servers, especially desktops inside FM-NET and other machines inside other LANs.
The main downside is that Tailscale is not FOSS. So perhaps we should look for other solutions built on WireGuard, or perhaps learn to configure WireGuard directly.
På SND:s hemsida lanseras nu nya sidor om datahantering riktade till forskare. Materialet som tagits fram är tänkt att ge en överblick över datahantering i forskningsprojekt och erbjuda stöd genom hela forskningsprocessen, från planeringsstadiet till projektslut.

Search by chemical name or CAS registry number.
By CAS, the American Chemical Society.
Sketch a chemical structure in the browser.
Also has built-in functions for producing Wikipedia ChemBox for the structure (cool!).
This service works as a resolver for different chemical structure identifiers and allows one to convert a given structure identifier into another representation or structure identifier. It can help you identify and find the chemical structure if you have an identifier such as an InChIKey.
Does not seem to work right now, though.
OPSIN is the (open source) standard for parsing IUPAC names.
These are such valuable guides (macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu), for @ubcmds and beyond. Installing a whole data science stack IS HARD. Enjoy and provide feedback!

@joelostblom & I just finished our install guide for the @UBCMDS #datascience software stack across Ubuntu, Mac & Window. Got a new machine that you need to install the #datascience software stack on? Test drive our guide & report any issues!

For macOS, Ubuntu and Windows.
This guide consists of written instructions. Could easily be turned into an Ansible playbook, I think.
If you're ready for some archaeological adventure but find yourself pandemic-trapped at home and unable to make it to Egypt's ancient Valley of the Kings right now, try the virtual tomb tour of Pharaoh Ramses VI who reigned in the 12th century BC.
The tomb of Ramses VI is located in the Valley of the Kings, in Luxor, Egypt.
Fulltextsök i Statens offentliga utredningar och Departementsserien

How much could 10 french franc in 1898 buy in today's rupees? What was the worth of 1 billion German mark in 1923 or 1000 Polish zloty in 1980? Was an annual wage of 25 pounds per year in 1780 much compared to the wage rates at the time?

Elsäkerhetsverket har tillsammans med butiker, e-handlare och återförsäljare av elprodukter, tagit fram en ny informationstjänst för konsumenter. Tjänsten Koppla säkert ska göra det enklareatt göra rätt när el ska installeras i bostaden.
Nature has launched a Platform for Responsible Editorial Policies. This facilitates transparent review and research into peer-review procedures, thereby contributing to open science and optimal journal management (see P. Wouters et al. Nature 569, 621–623 (2019) and F. Squazzoni et al. Nature 578, 512–514; 2020).
Funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development, and created with the Leiden Centre for Science.
IUPAC Periodic Table Challenge
A quiz on the chemical elements with different levels.
Requires registration, but you learn a lot from the questions.
The Periodic Dinner Table, is a cross between a demo lecture, comedy sketch and a game of bingo played on the periodic table (video with additional resources).
