Hur förhåller vi oss till det överflöd av information vi har tillgång till, både i vår profession och som individer? Det är lättare än någonsin att få tag i information, men är det lika enkelt att förstå, värdera och använda informationen? I organisationen eller på individnivå, i professionen eller på personlig nivå? Helena Francke, Josefin Wångdahl och Hanna Frank pratar om vikten av interpersone...

In this episode we discuss the risks and the benefits of publishing and sharing research data. We also talk about the framework making it possible to publish and share data; the infrastructure, the support, the legal framework and the will to share. An important game changer might be the EU court case regarding pseudonymized data,  EDPS versus SRB (CJEU C‑413/23 P, EU:C:2025:645).  We ex...

Why is a collection of physical historical books, journals and manuscripts, as the Hagströmer collections, important in our digital world?

Joining this conversation a...

"One thing that struck me when I recently went through clips from the archive is the amazing commitment of the activists," says Anna Mia, "it was young people and people living with HIV, but also mothers, researchers, doctors, Nobel laureates, monks – everyon...

In this episode of the KIB podcast we dig deeper into the academic perspective on AI: How do students use and reflect upon the use of AI in their studies – and how should they? How can I use AI to support me in my learning process? What’s happening to our brains? (Or to the intended learning outcome?) Is it cheating if I ask “my friend Bob” the AI to write my essay? The KIB podcast is produced by...

I pilotavsnittet av KIB-podden (som är på svenska) träffar vi Wim Grooten, docent, forskare och lektor på Karolinska Institutet (KI). Vi pratar om systematiska översikter, en form av litteraturöversikt som eftersträvar att sammanställa all tillgänglig forskning eller evidens inom ett avgränsat område utifrån en specifik metodologi.  Vad är svårast med att skriva systematisk översikt? Kan AI a...
