Underdirektør i Dansk Industri, Mikkel Haarder, skrev i sidste uge (11 marts, 2024) en artikel til Berlingske Tidende om hjemtag af EU midler som danske forskere har vundet i åben konkurrence. Det betyder at EU midlerne fratrækkes det samlede danske forskningsbudget. Det er vist på tide man begynder at opfatte forskning som en investering - ikke bare en udgift. I år 2000 vedtog EU's Ministerråd en vision for fremtiden baseret på viden og uddannelse. Visionen blev støttet af økonomer i hele verden og Danmark var blandt de lande som levede op til målene. Men hvad blev der af den optimistiske vision, hvorfor er forskning ikke en del af den offentlige debat eller del af den nyligt overståede valgkamp? Videnskabsjournalist Jens Degett fra Science Stories taler med Professor David Budtz Petersen fra Humanomics Forsknings Centret på Ålborg Universitet. Om hvad vi kan lære af vidensøkonomien og hvordan vi kommer videre. Podcasten er produceret med støtte fra DM. Foto kredit: Jens Degett, @Science Stories ApS

Quantum computing has arrived 35:55

The first quantum computer has arrived. The version of a quantum chip that recently came out of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen is now for sale, but it has already been sold out. The price is cheap according to professor Peter Lodahl from Sparrow Quantum who has recently moved out of the old Niels Bohr Institute to the other side of the street. Not a big move but a quantum leap. Science journalist Jens Degett is talking to Peter Lodahl in this podcast trying to understand what a quantum computer can do, how it works and what purpose it will serve.…

Professor Birger Lindberg Møller from Center for Synthetic Biology, Denmark, has always been impressed with the plant world and how plants can act as sun driven biochemical factories which can generate all the substances needed for growth and development of the plant. Plants can defend themselves with poison, they can signalise to each other and protect themselves against being eaten. Humans have domesticated plants for thousands of years. With genetic engineering plants can be developed to produce a large amount of different substances from medicine to food and they can protect themselves better against environmental changes and diseases. But the GMO approach has been controversial since the first GMO plants were launched in the 1990ies. Now Birger Lindberg Møller has another solution. Why not let the plants make their own natural mutations and select those which have the right genetic traits? It is possible to plant thousands of plants and select the very best with modern PCR screening. Photo credit: Jens Degett, © Science Stories ApS.…

New Year's Program 2025 38:20

5 weeks тому38:20

38:20

Another year has passed - so welcome to the Science Stories New Year podcast 2025. My name is Jens Degett and as tradition dictates, in this New Year's program, I play soundbites and tell stories about a selected sample of the last year's podcasts from Science Stories. One of our limitations is language. Our podcast in Danish has by definition a very small audience. In the course of the years, we have a total number of podcasts plays on our own portal of more than 400.000 plays since we started. Listeners were mostly from Denmark, the Nordic countries and Greenland. I mentioned last year that we have an increasing audience around Europe and not least in Ohio-USA, and the rest of the world where our podcasts are listened to when they are published in English. As an experiment we have decided to make English the primary language of Science Stories. I cannot guarantee that all podcasts will be in English, but most of them will. If we find support for it we will switch permanently to English. An alternative solution could be that we publish in two languages with an AI translation. In 2024 I received a Maria Leptin Science Journalism Fellowship. I spent two month at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and one month at EMBL in Heidelberg. There is a lot to talk about and I can really recommend to spend time with the researchers and get closer to the research institutions, There is a lot to tell from 2024 so if you missed it you may go back and find the stories in our archive. Enjoy. Foto kredit: Jens Degett © Science Stories ApS…

1:00:25

Researchers all over the world have tried for more than 25 years to make a new type of computer that can solve much more complex problems than traditional computers are capable of. Professor Charles Marcus from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen is one of the leading researchers who have made major contributions to the development of quantum computers. He is giving a profound understanding about what quantum computing is and why it may, or may not be difficult to grasp. He is interviewed about the state of the art of quantum computing by Science Journalist Jens Degett from Science Stories. The interview was made in connection with the first Quantum Computing Applications in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Workshop organized by the Danish Technical University (DTU) Department of Chemical Engineering, Knowledge Hub Zealand and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).…

[Best of] The many types of diabetes 23:48

23:48

Diabetes is about hormonal regulation of metabolism in the body. Apart from insulin there are many hormones, organs and receptors involved, but even if it is complicated to understand, it does not mean we should not talk about it or ask questions. In connection with the commemoration of the discovery of insulin +100 years ago, Science Journalist Jens Degett interviewed one of the most experienced diabetes researchers in the world, Professor Sir Stephen O’Rahilly from Cambridge University. The interview was recorded after an “August Krogh on Tour” lecture at the August Krogh Institute in Copenhagen. © Science Stories ApS, Photo by Jens Degett…

[Best of] A hundred years after August Krogh's Nobel Prize: The man who founded Novo Nordisk. 29:56

The year 2020 marked the centenary of August Krogh's Nobel Prize in physiology. August Krogh received the award for showing how oxygen is transported from the lungs through the blood into the small capillaries in the muscles. Details of the mechanism and how it is regulated are still a central topic of research a hundred years after and understanding respiration is still a matter of life or death. In this interview science journalist Jens Degett had the opportunity to talk to, one of the world's leading physiologists professor Christopher Ellis from the University of Western Ontario (Canada) about how August Krogh's 1920 Nobel Prize greatly influences physiological research even today. In addition to Nobel Prize class research, August Krogh founded one of the first biomedical companies in Denmark. The company would later become Novo Nordisk, which is now among the world's largest manufacturers of biomedicine and insulin.…

Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cells. They convert nutrients into energy, and they may hold the key to reverse aging and cure a large number of diseases. This is why exercise is important. But, can science one day come up with a pill that can reverse the aging of mitochondria? How close are we to solve this fundamental discovery?

What can vi learn from sponges or other primitive animals who have no brain. at all? What are the advantage of spending a lot of energy on maintaining a brain and what can the study of animals with none or very primitive brains teach us about evolution of complex animals with large brains. Professor Dr. Detlev Arendt is explaining to science journalist Jens Degett the advantage of having a small brain for some animals, and circadian rhythms studied in a small worm has evolved into a very special circadian control mechanism found in advanced animals.

Shape, stiffness and tension are important for understanding your body 20:50

Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, are taking the understanding of cell biology to a new level. Research group leader Alba Diz-Muñoz explains how shape or form, stiffness or rigidity, architecture and tension can make a big difference in your body’s reaction to physiology and disease. It is not only hormone signals, DNA and biochemistry which determine the fate of a cell, an organ, or the whole body. Mechanical parameters have to be taken into consideration to understand why cells react to the environment as they do.
