âšWohoo! Turns out I am one of the 100 most followed scientists in Sweden (no 23!), just below @UlfBjereld, @AgnesWold and @KTHuniversity colleague @tigranhaas.
See the full #TwiLiIndex (pronounced âtwilight indexâ) and method put together by journalist @MkeYoung. Cool!
[THREAD] Who are the most followed scientists in Sweden? Here is my ranking for 2022, using my methodology based on Twitter and LinkedIn numbers. It is my baby, and I hope youâll read on and retweet! #TwiLiIndex : mikeyoungacademy.dk/scientisâŠ
Spending lunch with @Framtidsstudier and their presentation of a study of the âviral expertsâ of the covid-19 pandemic in Sweden. Who were they, what did they post about (on Facebook), when did they post and get shared & on what grounds were their legitimacy created? #socialmedia
Vilka var de som nÄdde hundratusentals svenskar med rÄd, prognoser och kritik via Facebook under pandemins första vÄg? PÄ fredag presenterar vi en ny rapport om de "virala experterna" - vÀlkomna!

Discussant @PeterBerglez @orebrouni asks qs on the definition of âexpertsâ & understanding the results in terms of traditional media logic, etc nurses at a local hospital would be key also in traditional media due to (geographical) proximity. #mediaresearch #AcademicTwitter
The study was carried out by Anna Tyllström @UU_University and Noomi Weinryb @sodertorn who concluded discussing opportunities and risks with viral experts.
I wish Swedish research institutes like @Framtidsstudier would at least do summaries of their studies in English! So interesting work that might be relevant internationally!

How to engage with higher education and research in/with Africa? A panel on how to overcome the unequal power relations, funding opportunities and structural situations without falling into âthe benevolence pitâ. Useful discussion with more Qs than at @UU_University.
I asked a question on how @UU_University would like to market itself toward African higher educational institutions - do we come with certain principles, ways of working, what is our competitive edge?
At the launch of @UU_University New Forum for Africa Studies. What is new?
The forum supports research on, with & in Africa expands beyond the Humanities & Social Sciences to Medicin & Pharmacy and Science & Technology. Read more here: afrikastudier.uu.se/en/ #AcademicTwitter
Director of the Forum for Africa Studies @StenHagberg1 spoke on the development from a network, to a broad centre @UU_University. Questions from @amandahammarzim and audience full of Uppsala-Africa researchers!
In the coffee break I reconnected with my African studies lecturer from 20 years ago Prof Per Brandström @UU_University. I remember his lectures to this day problematizing aid and providing perspectives on life. An engaged teacher always makes waves. Thank you Per!
At book launch @handels_sse @Delmigram: Opening talk by @LarsStrannegard reminding us of the much changed context for discussion on international migration. All premises taken for granted are now questioned: peace, democracy, capitalism, trade/ec. dependence and globalization.
Researcher @MaxJerneck @handels_sse âs chapter âCosmopolitanism and welfare chauvinism in Swedenâ on proimmigration now replaced by anti immigration sentiment. âšInsight: Only count benefits of migrants in tax income the âwide but not deepâ consensus can easily turn around!
Thanks @handels_sse and @Delmigram for a thought provoking event. I agree with Joakim Palme, Chair of the Migration Delegation that Research on migration and integration is much welcomed as it lowers âemotional responses to these issuesâ!
A multi stakeholder panel concludes the event, look up nyakompisbyran.se
7/10 jobs in Sweden are given through social networks says Nya KompisbyrÄn which connects new and established Swedes. Out of their matched newcomers, 28% find work within months of getting access to a network! #integration #migpol
Challenges with employment for the migrants in Sweden who currently are not employed?
âWe need them!â exclaims Susanna StĂ„l @Nordic_Choice
Good reminder of the labor shortages in Sweden right now. Aside hospitality sector, engineers, software developers are also missing!
âWhat is lacking in the Swedish discourse on integrationâ, researcher Sayaka Osanami Törngren @MalmoUniversity observes, âis that we are well aware of structural racism, but we do not discuss who perpetuates it?â #internationalmigration
Indeed a new world #Migrationspolitik
Todayâs world is different from the one referred to in sonnet âThe New Colossusâ at the base of Statue of Liberty - Give me your tired, poor⊠yearning to breath free. Discussing challenges of international migration and integration book launch @handels_sse @csr_sse @linlerpold
