Låt polisstudenterna få koncentrera sig på kärnuppdraget, skriver jag i senaste Polistidningen. Och bangar inte för att använda "ordbajseri", "trams" och "upphetsande" i samma artikel.

Trading footnotes for FOI requests this September – heading back to school for a one-year deep dive into investigative journalism. Time to investigate the investigators! 🔍📚🔥

📢 I'm beyond thrilled that @GustavNilsonne is taking over as board chair for the IGDORE Sweden Foundation! There's truly no one better to continue shaping IGDORE Sweden and take it in exciting new directions! 🚀🙌 🌱

@minzlicht Thank you – it was an honour to host you! 🌺🙏

@rmwillen I'll never forget my 3-months at IGDORE Bali. Thanks to you and your team, Rebecca!

After 9 years of building IGDORE, I’m stepping down from all formal roles. I’m deeply grateful for the journey – and remain committed to open, replicable science and to systems that give researchers the autonomy to pursue meaningful and rigorous research.

Lancet Psychiatry now requiring manuscripts to acknowledge lack of lived experience as a limitation if absent (which means pressure to reveal lived experience). This is not a good development imo. thelancet.com/journals/lanps…

📢 Call for nominations for the Open Criminology Award. Deadline: 1st July 2025 More info: esc-enoc.github.io/open-crim-awar…

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
