So nice conference in Finland on #healthsocialwork: Terveyssosiaalityön päivät events.tuni.fi/tst-paivat/o...
I gave a keynote speech about social determinants of health and how to apply it in practice. We have established important contacts to strengthen the cooperation between our countries!

Sverige kommer alltså att missa alla klimatmål, på grund av regeringens politik. Vi missar EU-målen. Vi missar de nationella målen. Med rejäl marginal. I decennier var vi en förebild, som drev på utvecklingen mot ett hållbart samhälle. På bara tre år har allt slagits sönder

I've had a very intense start to the semester with a new group of health social worker students. Coordinating the three study locations on the east coast of Sweden require a lot of organization! #AcademicSky #socialwork #health
"Does return-to-work coordination shorten sick leave?" That's a common question! Our registry study in primary care points to 5 fewer sick leave days in a 10-month follow-up among patients on sick leave who received coordination compare to those who did not. #academicsky

#AcademicSky no surprises “Reviewers are more likely to approve a manuscript if their own work is cited in subsequent versions than are reviewers who are not cited, according to an analysis of 18,400 articles from four open-access publications.”

Yesterday my doctoral student Jenny Aspling defended her doctoral thesis in social work in an excellent way! A longitudinal study showing that the Active Support staff approach can improve everyday life for people with intellectual disabilities in group homes. esh.diva-portal.org/smash/get/di...
En ny rapport från SMHI, som gått helt under radarn, visar att Sverige står inför en dramatisk temperaturökning. Medeltemperaturen har redan har stigit med 1,9 grader, och kan öka med 6,5 grader innan seklets slut.

Can confirm. Former USAID here, and I’ve been approached twice in the last 30 days.
Alla måste förstå att vi inte kan stå naiva inför den ordning som MAGA-rörelsen i rasande fart implementerar just nu. Lyssna på detta viktiga avsnitt.
Not good news for the 'CO2 is a plant nutrient' climate denial mantra...

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all?
Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.
The increase in quality of life since my heavy smoking neighbor moved a month ago is immeasurable, I am so happy! My apartment suddenly feels like my own. I've had as many people over for dinner in a few weeks as I did in a more than a year of living in smoke. #lifeisgood
JUST IN:
The UN has adopted Ukraine’s resolution condemning Russian aggression and demanding the immediate withdrawal of Putin’s forces, marking the war’s third anniversary.
The U.S. joined Russia, North Korea, Belarus, and Hungary in opposing the resolution.
Let's remember some of Hannah Arendt's thoughts in these turbulent days!
Obs! Bortom 2°C i global temperaturhöjning hamnar planeten i ett läge som inte historiskt varit förenligt med mänskligt liv och som inte förekommit på mer än två miljoner år. Nuvarande utsläppsbanor pekar mot 3,2°C vid sekelskiftet. Läs @anniecroona.bsky.social

It's impossible to keep up with all of Trump's devastating decisions regarding international relations right now, but this conversation sums up the seriousness of the situation. The world order is changing rapidly.

Oh no 💔
Reading and examining students' exam papers can be weeks of tedious work, but every now and then a text grabs you, and leaves you with a ’Wow, you're going to be a wonderful social worker, and a researcher to if you like to!’ It happened twice today, and it made my day. #LifeAsALecturer #SocialWork

The evidence is clear on the increasing risk of wildfires due to climate change.
However, science can only get us so far. Politicians must act on this evidence.
Will the California wildfires make them face reality?

📢 The science is clear: carbon #offsetting is not a reliable tool for tackling the climate crisis.
Today, 80+ civil society organisations are calling on climate target-setting bodies, incl. Science-based Targets initiative, to stick to science.

87,2% punktlighet för tåg är rekorddåligt.
81,4% punktlighet för SAS är rekordbra.
Tåg räknas som i tid om det är max 3 mln (regionalt) eller 5 min sent (fjärrtåg)
Flyg räknas som i tid om det är max 15 minuter skickat.
Så varför tar folk flyg med argumentet att tåg ofta är försenade?!
Hi Gavin! I would like to use this figure in teaching. Where do I find the source, is it yours?
five time series of global mean surface temperature changes starting low and noisy in the 1850s - rising clearly since the 1960s - and showing 2024 was clearly the warmest.
All surface temperature products for 2024 are now live.
All show 2024 is the warmest year (very clearly).
The estimates of the change since the pre-industrial (1850-1900) are more uncertain but range from 1.46 to 1.62ºC.
It is therefore *likely* this was the first year that exceeded 1.5ºC.
