I spørsmålet om Kjerkols tillit: hvorfor diskuteres ikke mer om hvorvidt vi kan ha en statsråd som lyver om sakens faktum i månedsvis? Det må vel være enda viktigere enn selve oppgavefusket (som i seg selv er diskvalifiserende selvsagt)? 🤷‍♀️

Forskerforbundet: Vanskelig for Kjerkol å ha tillit som statsråd når hun er tatt for fusk

Som helseminister har Ingvild Kjerkol (Ap) ansvaret for over 3000 årsverk med forskning. Både forskere og studenter advarer mot manglende tillit om Kjerkol fortsetter i regjeringen.

Noen presiseringer: 1. Norske helsemyndigheter har ikke gjort noe galt i denne saken. 2. At det har vært foul play i denne saken, betyr IKKE at forskere og myndigheter generelt ikke kan stoles på, altså at konspirasjonsteorier generelt er sanne.

Yesterday I taught my 8 & 5 year olds about how transposons naturally alters the genetic code of living organisms and gives us e.g multicolored maize. They were mindblown and now both want to become biologists ⭐️ #Knowledgeispower #STEM #Genetics #scicomm

@angie_rasmussen @TomLetessier1 @atuntable @mbw61567742 @nizzaneela @MarionKoopmans @flodebarre 2/ is not because you pointed out a factual error (about the order of names), it is because there are clear signs that the scientific system has been used by some to establish a specific narrative (zoonosis) to avoid having a lab origin investigated. That is unacceptable.

Gene editing with #CRISPR can increase plant productivity (more efficient photosynthesis), decrease food waste (increase shelf life), increase adaptability to climate change and much more. Should be a central part of this debate.

@flodebarre @angie_rasmussen @MarionKoopmans I am more interested in hearing your assessment about the core finding; that there was evidence of a reverse genetics system in the data. Do you agree with that conclusion and if so, could you think of a plausible explanation and share your view on the implications?

@forteller @jarottingen @fredriksolvang Joda, men det finnes mange måter å stille det spørsmålet på som er mindre ladet og suggererende enn slik det var stilt. Jeg håper du har rett, og at folk ble beroliget av svaret, men jeg er ikke overbevist.

Jeg synes vi bør kunne forvente mer av samfunnets etiske vaktbikkjer enn fiffige metaforer, stråmenn og handlingslammelse når vi diskuterer teknologiens plass i håndteringen av store samfunnsutfordringer. Jeg svarer på Bjørn Hofmanns usaklige kritikk:

Er fiffige metaforer, stråmenn og handlingslammelse alt du har å tilby, Hofmann?

DEBATT: Det virker som Hofmanns plan for å håndtere klimakrise, global matsikkerhet og globale helseutfordringer er å folde hendene og håpe at det går over.

Tre viktige grunner til at Minerva som en av få aviser dekket lableak-hypotesen, var at vi ikke var så redde for å stemples som konspi-trump-rasister; skjønte at pressen må være kritisk også i møte med forskere; og at vi turte å risikere å ta feil.

@angie_rasmussen @R_H_Ebright @JamieMetzl @Ayjchan @mattwridley I don’t see how the market data rule out a lab incident. Market data could very well be consistent with a superspreader event rather than initial spillover, no? Especially when considering other factors such as molecular clock.
