Explores the many connections between the two large crises humanity faces. Hopes to create synergy between them as they are both fighting the ignorance about violence.
International Journal of Advances in Biology (IJAB) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, addresses the impacts and challenges of Biology. The journal documents practical and theoretical results which make a fundamental contribution for the development of Biological sciences and applications.
THE RACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND DATA IN MEDICINE
Researchers, doctors and biologists benefit from the massive amount of available information as health data becomes digitized. But it also becomes harder and harder for human brains to uncover the complexity and extract insights. Data is generated at a much faster pace than knowledge. This is THE scientific challenge. We need to create the tools to help human collective intelligence extract knowledge from this influx of data. Parts of these technologies already exist, parts need to be invented. OWKIN creates AI technologies to advance knowledge and discover the medicine of tomorrow.
HISTORY OWKIN was co-founded in 2016 by Thomas Clozel, MD, a clinical research doctor and former assistant professor in clinical hematology and Gilles Wain
What is XR Peace?
XR Peace is a coalition of organisations for peace and justice joining Extinction Rebellion.
It has been estimated that about 6% of the global carbon footprint results from military-related activity. Militarism and war are inextricably linked with imperialism, racism, and the destruction of habitats. XR Peace proposes to make explicit the links between militarism and the climate emergency. We will also highlight the opportunities that are presented by transferring the resources, skills and people power from the military into addressing the climate crisis. We need systemic change if we and our ecosystem are to survive.
Jan Öberg 25.9.19: "...entire systems approaching existential breakdown – and not because of foreign adversaries but because of their own morally corrupt actions and policies – or system fatique: systems so worn out and tired (of itself, too) that the don’t have the energy needed for re-vitalization.
Ett kärnvapenkrig mellan USA och Ryssland kan ge atomvinter. Ett krig mellan Indien och Pakistan kan ge år av missväxt och miljontals döda i hela världen. Intervju med Alan Robock i DN 31 mars 2019

In the spirit of a new year and a new Congress, 2019 may well be our best and last opportunity to steer our ship of state away from the twin planetary perils of environmental chaos and militarism, charting a course towards an earth-affirming 21st century. | By Medea Benjamin, Alice Slater
Ledare. Andreas Gustavsson. Etc 9.10.2018. "Varför inte investera tungt direkt? Rensa energi från fossila bränslen, bygga transportleder med minimala utsläpp, organisera ett mindre destruktivt jordbruk. Allt det där är rätt, tycker William Nordhaus. Men hans strategi utgår från att vi har mer välutvecklade finansiella muskler imorgon jämfört med vad vi har idag, så bättre att skjuta tills imorgon. Inte allt, men mycket. Det är hans nödutgång. Eftersom att ekonomiska resurser är begränsade kan de inte uteslutande användas för kommande generationers räkning. Dessutom kommer våra barn och barnbarn att ha andra förutsättningar. Ja, han tänker sig givetvis fortsatt tillväxt. The Economist sammanfattar:
”Eftersom framtida generationer sannolikt kommer att bli mycket rikare än vi är, är det inte mer meningsfullt för oss att offra vårt välbefinnande för dem än att förvänta sig att bönder från 1800-talet skulle gå utan välling så att vi kan köpa fler datorer.”
William Nordhaus räknar baklänges. Tre procent i diskonteringsränta, så mycket ska vi idag betala för framtiden. Som vore kalkylen ens möjlig. Det här är ett extraordinärt tossigt sätt att hantera klimatkrisen. Eller inte hantera."
Resumé of Leggett's lecture by Nafeez Ahmed (June 2018) "Late last year, Dr. Jeremy Leggett — solar energy entrepreneur, former oil man and government advisor — gave an eye-opening talk where he for the first time laid out his vision for two possible futures facing human civilisation. Speaking at an event hosted by Resurgence & Ecologist magazine, he told a gripped audience that the world had approached a major convergence point in which our choices would rapidly close off either one of these possible futures. One scenario heralds the promise of a successful transition to a new, more evolved kind of civilisation. Another scenario warns of a future plunged increasingly into scarcity, despotic chaos and conflict."
