Great news! Santa came early this year! Ragnar Söderbergs stiftelser chose to support our project on Everyday Activities in Extreme Environments the other week. This mean that the research project now have a even more stable financial basis for four years and that our work now can go into over-gear and really pick up speed. Meaning that we soon will be looking for postdocs and doctoral students to do some interesting research in the empirical areas of high-altitude mountain climbing and emergency rooms, and the theoretical areas of practice-based research, organizing and decision-making. If you are interested, or know of anyone that may be interested please contact me. (markus.hallgren at gmail.com)

Currently we are doing interviews with climbers, going through archival data on different mountains and examining video-ethnographic data from K2.

Meanwhile, here is the list of the projects that were supported (as a matter of fact our project is one of the largest that they chose to support): LIST OF PROJECTS

Here is a press statement including the project: PRESS STATEMENT

I am a big fan of different softwares to make my life somewhat easier. One problem I tend to have is the medical condition of “Goldenus Fishus”, a.k.a Gold fish memory, a.k.a Teflon memory. Basically, if I can have something to help me remember things that is good. Well, I have found what I have been looking for. Help comes in the shape of the software “Evernote”. Evernote is basically a software that allows you to save parts of a website by simply dragging the highlighted text to the icon, save and make pdf´s and other documents searchable etc. Every document or every piece of text can subsequently be tagged with one or several tags, for example “Research ideas” and put into different folders e.g. “method”. Evernote is also useful when it comes to keep receipts from disappearing and saving meeting notes. For meeting notes I simply use my Ipad, a stylus and “Notes +” to write ordinary notes, this I then export to Evernote that even recognizes my scribblings(!) – and needless to say, make them searchable. In terms of pdf´s I have all my read and interesting pdf´s in Evernote, complete with excerpted text snippets. With more than 1200 papers it is very handy to be able to search the entire pdf in a matter of seconds to find papers dealing with e.g. “expeditions”. Evernote also comes with software for Smartphones which makes it very handy for both making notes with e.g. the camera, and searching notes.

Other software I use frequently and happily include Dropbox, AiAnnotate (Ipad), Kindle (Ipad), Notes + (Ipad), Endnote (would not be able to live without it), Google documents (online). I use all of these softwares to in one way or the other help me organize my academic and personal choirs and ideas.

Here are some useful links in regards to Evernote.
