Selvbiografier: videnskab, teknologi og medicin

I 1885 blev Danmarks første kvindelige læge udlært. Hun hed Nielsine Nielsen (1850-1916) og hendes kamp for at få adgang til medicinstudiet banede vejen for, at flere kvinder siden fik lov at uddanne sig på universitetet. Ved Nielsine Nielsens død fandt man hendes ungdomserindringer, der både fortæller om dem, der hjalp hende frem mod målet, og om høje herrer, der skabte forhindringer. Erindringerne er før blevet udgivet i censureret form, men her er originalmanuskriptet. Nielsine Nielsens erindringer tegner et billede af en enestående og visionær kvinde. Som kvindesagsforkæmper er hun blevet kaldt for en af de vigtigste danske pionerer og normbrydere i det moderne gennembruds Danmark.Bogen er udgivet som historisk dokument med datidens sprogbrug.idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlLæge Nielsine Nielsen (1850-1916) var Danmarks første kvindelige akademiker.

I 1885 færdiggjorde hun lægestudiet med topkarakterer, og fire år senere åbnede hun sin egen lægepraksis.

This unique collection examines "the acting person" as an important unit of analysis for science studies, using an integrative approach of in-depth case studies to explore the cognitive, social, cultural, and personal dimensions of a series of key figures in the sciences, from Goethe to Kepler to Rachel Carson.Opening up key questions about what science is, and what comprises a scientist, the volume offers an accessible introductory approach to psychology of science, a growing area in Science and Technology Studies (STS). Case studies focus on the psychological contexts of the contributions for which the scientist is known. Without diminishing its epistemic authority, science is presented as a psychologically saturated human activity, one that is especially illustrative of the way social, cognitive, and personal processes intermingle to both facilitate and impede scientific accomplishment. Each case study ends with a set of discussion questions, providing a valuable resource for student reflection and discussion, inviting analysis of similarities and differences in science in the context of very different lives and different projects.Person-Centered Studies in Psychology of Science is essential reading for scholars and graduates interested in the psychology of science, personality theory, social, or cognitive psychology, general psychologists, and theoretical psychologists.

"Britney Daniels is a Black, masculine-presenting, tattooed lesbian from a working-class background. For the last five years, she has been working as an emergency-room nurse. She began Journal of a Black Queer Nurse as a personal diary, a tool to heal from the day-to-day traumas of seeing too much and caring too much. Hilarious, gut-wrenching, and infuriating by turns, these stories are told from the perspective of a deeply empathetic, no-nonsense young nurse, who highlights the way race, inequality, and a profit-driven healthcare system make the hospital a place where systemic racism is lived. Whether it is giving one's own clothes to a homeless patient, sticking up for patients of color in the face of indifference from white doctors and nurses, or nursing one's own back pain accrued from transporting too many bodies as the morgues overflowed during the pandemic, Journal of a Black Queer Nurse reveals the ways in which care is much more than treating a physical body and how the commitment to real care-care that involves listening to and understanding patients in a deeper sense-demands nurses, especially nurses of color, must also be warriors"--

In this candid and uplifting memoir, Sayman shares the highs and lows, the successes and failures, of his remarkable journey. His book is essential and affirming reading for anyone marching to the beat of their own drum.

Lige siden Egtvedpigen blev fundet i 1921, har hun været anset for noget af det mest ærkedanske i vores historie. Men ny forskning har vist, at den unge pige fra Egtved kommer langvejsfra, og at hun har rejst over lange afstande flere gange i sit korte liv for over 3300 år siden. Bag opdagelsen står Karin Margarita Frei, professor i arkæometri ved Nationalmuseet. I denne bog tager hun læseren med ind i laboratoriet, hvor nye fortællinger om vores fortid afsløres. Hun fortæller også sin egen historie om at vokse op i Argentina, men længes mod sine danske rødder. Det er en beretning om identitet og om vigtigheden af at krydse grænser, også fagligt, for at forstå vores fælles historie.
