On a night train towards Uppsala where I'm going to talk about coordinated inauthentic behavior, what we know and what we can do about it. Taking a night trains bring me back to when I travelled to Paris with a couple of friends 25 years ago. Flights were too expensive and the night trains were a good option, today flights a too cheap.

Michael Bang PetersenI have been appointed as an external expert to assist the Danish government's Epidemic Commission: https://bss.au.dk/aarhus-bss-nyheder/nyheder/vis/artikel/michael-bang-petersen-udpeget-til-at-bistaa-epidemikommissionen-1
The Epidemic Commission is the formal Danish authority on assessing the risk of epidemics (including COVID-19) and proposing interventions to mitigate epidemics.
