Lab Management: 
Rotation

Simy Kaur competently covered for Marie in the year of maternity leave and is thus now an inherent part of the lab culture, community and spirit. Therefore, we are thrilled that Simy has accepted to stay on part-time as the lab assistant while she is launching other academic aspirations. The ETHOS Lab community is thriving and this is, in part, something that Simy will keep nurturing in her role. You can find her around, in parts, on Tuesdays during the opening hours and she is still game on academic and philosophical sparring.  

Marie Blønd is back in the ETHOS Lab and has hit the ground running. She is excited about all the excellent events and projects that have been happening in a thriving ETHOS lab and looks forward to catching up with everyone and continuing in the 2019 theme 'Decelerate'. Fun fact is that she returns as an activist celebrity. We marked the occasion with an informal interview - have a read.

Metadata blog: 'Engaging with test results: a visual vignette'

Former ETHOS Lab Assistant, Junior Researcher and perpetual friend of the lab, Cæcilie S. Laursen, has written an excellent blogpost about her Master thesis work on the patient portal, Min Sundhedsplatform (EN: My Health Platform) in so-called visual vignette style. Click here to read it.

Teaching: Python Study Group

ETHOS Lab TA Veronika Skotting's sums it up and reflects.

As some of the readers might know, ETHOS has facilitated Python Study Group this semester. For the past 8 weeks we have filled a whole classroom on the 3rd floor with a motley crowd ageing between 19 - 60+ with a shared interest for Python programming. We were curious about who would participate when we first started and it has been a delightful surprise to see a 50/50 distribution between men and women. The study group was coordinated by ETHOS Lab TA Veronika Skotting with the invaluable help of Junior Researchers and volunteers Joe Massey, Ieva Jasaityte and Viktor Thomsen.

We hope to be back next semester!

Writing session for students

May is the season of writing for students in the educational rhythms of exams and semesters. Writing as a practice can quickly become a lonely, silo process with very little sharing and caring. Motivational Writing for Good Times, open to all every Wednesday, for sharing our writing experience together. Bring a goal for the day, large or small and work on it for 25x4 minutes. ETHOS Lab Junior Researcher Lauge Groes coordinates the writing group, and you can check out the recurring Facebook event.

When & Where: every Wednesday in the lab from 13 to appx 16:00
