Forskere fra hele verden deltok på konferansen, og takket være reisestipendet fra NBS fikk jeg også muligheten til å delta.

The European Human Genetics conference is organized annually by the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) with the aim of promoting research in basic and applied human and medical genetics as well as facilitating contact between individuals with common interests in this field. Fortunately, I had a great chance to attend this year conference held during 21th-24th May in Barcelona, Spain thanks

IAftenposten har det i sommer pågått en diskusjon om medisinsk stråling er farlig. Diskusjonen ble utløst av at røntgenlege Tor Ole Kjelevand skrev en kronikk med tittelen "Medisinsk stråling er ikke farlig likevel".

Konferansen arrangeres i regi av «The International Society of Fish and Shellfish Immunology» (ISFSI) og omhandler den nyeste forskningen innen immunologi hos akvatiske organismer. Årets møte hadde over 200 deltagere og 100 foredrag som

The 19-22 January 2017, the 53rd contact meeting will be organized at Storefjell Mountain Resort in Gol, Buskerud. The destination is located approximately 3 hours from Oslo and is easily reached by train or bus from Oslo and Bergen.

With the development and widespread application of next-generation sequencing tools in Evolutionary Biology it has become invaluable to possess good computational programming skills. Such skills are specifically relevant for scientists who wish to analyse high-throughput sequencing data. Thanks to a grant from NBS I was able to attend the course "Programming for Evolutionary Biology" which covered

On the 3rd to 6th of April 2016, I had the pleasure of attending the International Discussion Meeting "Förster resonance energy transfer in life sciences - FRET 2", thanks to a travel grant from NBS. The meeting took place at the Max Planck institute in Göttingen, Germany. There were 180 participants, which allowed for good talks and fruitful discussions. My interest in this meeting was to

Norway's forest industry accounts yearly for production equivalent to more than 50 billion NOK. Researchers at NIBIO at Ås are using molecular technologies to characterize current and ancient populations of Norway spruce (1), the most important forest species in Norway.
