Congrats to Fikria Karinanur for successfully defending her Master's thesis in Clinical Health Sciences last week. We were also so pleased to host @cnspracklen.bsky.social as the external censor.

The co-worker at my home office is great, but she likes to drink my coffee when I leave my desk. My co-worker is a basenji.

Science has no borders. Even though I work in Norway now, the U.S. assault on science affects patients (my mom), early career scientists (my friends), and scientists worldwide (European colleagues & me).

We were lucky enough to host @kelly.sova.cool as our guest instructor, thanks to financial support from Digital Life Norway. Kelly was instrumental in the Girls Who Code Club leadership at U of Michigan. It was so fun to teach together again!

Together with a vision of precision public health (www.ntnu.edu/hunt/mce/pro...), these words by Rupi Kaur motivate me. #InternationalWomensDay

Happy International Women's Day to the brilliant women I supervise/co-supervise at #NTNU! It is the joy of my days to do science with them!

Very excited that I received funding from the Digital Life Norway Research School to host Health AI in R—a 1.5 day workshop at NTNU geared towards Master’s, PhD, and Postdoctoral trainees with beginning computational skills and an interest in AI for health research. Registration details next year!
