It sounds like where you can learn about the interplay between money and the planet’s resources: But it's not. 177 students sign critical open letter to the management of the Department of Food and Resource Economics #IFRO at the University of Copenhagen #UCPH:

Years of information campaigns have done nothing to stop copying digital textbooks among students in Denmark. Now the copyright enforcer says it will take students to court:

Line graph showing Google Trends search interest for mpox-related terms in Madagascar from December 25, 2025 to January 9, 2026. Three lines track searches for 'mpox' (blue), 'variole du singe' (green), and 'monkeypox' (orange). Search interest began rising around December 28, peaked on December 30 ('variole du singe' and 'mpox'), then declined after the first officially confirmed cases on December 31, 2025 (marked by a vertical dashed line). Interest rose again in early January. Below the graph, three treemaps show top related search queries organized by the three main terms, with related searches including 'symptômes', 'traitement', 'vaccin', 'transmission', 'virus', and 'madagascar'.

BYOD for the 1st #TidyTuesday of the year.
I chose to focus on the Africa Cup of Nations giants. Did the host nation make it to the top four?

Map and bar chart showing the global distribution of 4 209 endangered languages. The world map displays threatened, shifting, moribund, and nearly extinct languages as colored points, with yellow areas highlighting regions of high language clustering. A notable concentration of approximately 700 endangered languages appears in Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian portion of New Guinea, shown in detail in an inset map (bottom right). The bar chart (bottom left) breaks down the 4 209 languages by endangerment status: 1 629 threatened, 1 835 shifting, 434 moribund, and 311 nearly extinct.
For last week's #TidyTuesday, I created a map of endangered languages around the world. Built entirely in R/ggplot2: transforming spatial coordinates, identifying hotspots and composing multiple charts!

Note to self, maybe next time I should also add a QR code to my linktree!
There are 74563 Greenlanders around the world. 56542 in Greenland; 17079 in Denmark and 942 elsewhere. Scan QR code for source code.
🇬🇱 This #TidyTuesday I give you a map of the Greenlandic diaspora! Did you know that there are over 17k Greenlanders in Denmark?

Text "happy internet archive day! 22nd October 2025" atop a gradient blue background with the limb of the Earth dominating the lower part of the image.
Poster with a gradient blue background. Large text reads “the web we’ve built.” Smaller text says “Celebrating 1 trillion web pages archived.” Pixelated 3D icons of a floppy disk, magnifying glass, cursor arrow, computer window, and others radiate outward from a bright starburst in the center. On the right, text lists event details: “Wednesday, October 22, 5–10PM PT. Live stream: 7–8PM PT. 300 Funston Avenue, San Francisco.” The Internet Archive logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Kilde: Mobilitetsredegørelsen 2025 På cykelområdet er der ca. blevet bevilliget 160 mio. kr. årligt (10-års gennemsnit for 2016-2025). Investeringer på cykelområdet omfatter både midler til cykelinfrastruktur og cykelinitiativer, men også sikre skoleveje, trafiksikkerhed samt eksterne investeringer og bidrag fra puljer. I 2025 blev der bevilliget 174 mio. kr. til cykelområdet. Af de 174 mio. kr. blev 82 mio. kr. bevilliget primær til cykelinfrastruktur og cykelinitiativer, 68 mio. kr. til sikre skoleveje, trafiksikkerhed, strøggader, cykel- og gangbroer og 11 mio. kr. i forbindelse med eksterne investeringer fra trafikselskaber samt bidrag fra puljer.
From an urban planning perspective it is very good and much needed that Copenhagen is increasing its bicycle budget. It is especially important that some of this investment will be allocated to child safety, as Copenhagen's transport policies have indeed neglected children. I personally experience this every morning through the terrifying traffic chaos on the street of my 7 year old daughter's school. As a consequence, Copenhagen has fallen behind several cities in Europe. Investing into cycling is increasing a city's livability, and also comes with massive economic benefits, especially to the public health system. We should however not forget, that still vehicular infrastructure receives a budget that is many times higher than cycling, so this bicycle budget is only like a drop in the bucket. Despite the laudable efforts, Copenhagen is still missing the political will to boldly transform its transport system towards becoming truly human-centric. Also the public wants this, as one can see clearly in Paris' ongoing success story. So, despite offering fantastic cycling infrastructure for fit adults, Copenhagen unfortunately remains inherently car-centric. A budget increase is great, but not enough by far - it will need a fundamental rethinking of transport, urban living, and crucially the political will to change this.
Here the city's press release: https://via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelelse/14560655/line-barfod-om-kobenhavnsk-budget-stolt-af-det-storste-cykelbudget-nogensinde
They ~quadrupled the bicycle budget to >600 mio. DKK. Below my full comments to the journalist, which was used for the article.

Poster Title: "Robust Prediction of Six-Month Methotrexate Treatment Outcomes in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results from Sequence-to-Sequence Models on the Danish DANBIO Registry", This Poster describes a machine learning model, namely a TFT, for predicting how patient swollen joint count will change over time for a given RA patient who has been prescribed methotrexate.
👀Looking into the future! 📈 Just wanted to share our patient outcome #prediction model which we presented at EULAR 2025.
We have designed a #forecasting #model that can follow a patient's swollen joint count over time and estimate if their condition will improve or worsen. (1/3)
In or around Copenhagen and interested in #rstats ? You’re very welcome to join the next CopernhagenR meetup (8th of April) where @ahmetakkoc.bsky.social will introduce ”Federated Analysis in R ”, and I'll talk about R in the browser with Quarto-live 😁

Heyo!
The journal @naturemethods.bsky.social has named a new medical analysis method as the biggest scientific breakthrough in 2024. Andreas Mund of the University of Copenhagen explains how it has led to a cure for the skin disease Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis:

Just made a #bsky account to vent about how #NotebookLM 's intro page is different for personal vs. organization users.
* Briefing is upper-case in the personal edition, but lower case for org users.
* 'org' is used instead of 'organization' in the personal edition.
