Research: from mouse to muslim

Everybody does research right now. PCR testing, antigen testing, epidemiology, incubation period, omicron, delta, mRNA, vaccines and so on. I have always been interested in learning, and later also teaching in life. Knowledge is hard work because you have to read. You have to spend hours reading. I got very interested in neurobiology at the university and that made me go to research. I worked a lot with mice to understand the brain. There are actually a lot of similarities between mice and men. We are mammals and biologically we are very similar. When I studied, it was said that approximately 95% of our DNA is similar. Today, that number has of course changed since we have new knowledge about working DNA (see eg https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn2352-just-2-5-of-dna-turns-mice-into-men/ ). It is important to understand that the knowledge we have today may be different in the future.

These last ten years I have been working a lot. Reading, writing, and a lot of photography. A new dissertation. No mice, but instead a wonderful camera. The dearest belonging I have. My previous mentor is a Professor and I have learned a lot from him. This time I have been working on my own. I have spent quite a lot of time trying to understand religion. Lately, I have been thinking about this Corona pandemic and religion. It has made me remember my encounter with Islam in Dubai.

As usual, I believe that music can unite various religions. So far, I have not shared any music from U2 since they sometimes have political messages included in their music. However, I feel very satisfied by finally sharing “Mysterious ways” by U2.

Enjoy
