Stockholm University

For the third woman, who he had an 18-year relationship with, numerous letters between her and himself are still around and they don't mention or allude to any affairs.

Also sometimes suggested as proof that something to the effect of this anecdote took place, because in his last revision to his will, Nobel got rid of a 5% bequeathal of his estate to what is now the University of Stockholm.

The rumor is that he did so because of a feud with the aforementioned Mittag Leffler, who he had at least known of from the Stockholm Educated Society.

However, there is no record of such a feud between the men, and it isn't clear if the two actually ever even met, given Mittag Leffler was a student when Nobel left Sweden, and Nobel only returned about once a year for his mother's birthday.

It should also be noted that Nobel frequently revised his will throughout his lifetime, and on the same revision where he got rid of the 5% to the present-day University of Stockholm, he also got rid of most of his educational donations to other schools as well he was simply shifting his focus to giving more of his estate to the nobel prizes rather than to educational institutions so then if there was no affair or animosity towards any mathematician why did he not make a nobel prize for mathematics well this is simply thought to be because nobel was not very interested in the subject and did not grasp the practical benefits to the world of advancing mathematics In essence, Nobel Prizes were created as awards for people who made the greatest contributions to mankind in subjects that interested Nobel.

Nobel did a lot of his own work in physics and chemistry, and was an enthusiast of various literature of the day.

He also saw the benefit to advancement in medicine, The Peace Prize was thought to have been suggested and promoted by his former lover and secretary Bertha Kinski, who later won the award in 1905, just a few years after the Nobel Prizes were established.

They've had a very big influence.

Jan Teorell is a professor of political science at Stockholm University.

Uh, they have been very much mainstreamed, but they're still, you know, a very radical party for, in the views of many voters, and the other parties have had to adjust, and particularly then on the center-right side, where the first approach was to basically ignore them, but that shifted ahead of the last election, and now they've been a well-integrated support party for the government and have had very much policy influence in the last four years.

When asked about Sweden's dramatic shift in immigration during his time as prime minister, Ulf Kristersson said his government had fulfilled its task of cleaning house and must now focus on integration.

... influences your career choices, but we are no experts on the topic, so we invited a guest today.

Her name is Tuva, and she's a PhD student in social- within sociology at the Stockholm University.

And her PhD centers around the question how segregation in preschools influence people later on in life, so in later education.

And this is a very interesting research question.

And then not thinking seaweed was nothing I really noticed.

But when I did do my master's research in Stockholm at Stockholm University.

What did you study? It was marine systems ecology.

So what I study is the cycles of nutrients and systems and life through ecosystems.

For example, the ecological footprint, that's something that emerged in the 70s and 80s, and that was from Sweden.

I mean, I'd go even back to the 1800s, where Svante Arrhenius was the first person to calculate in 1800s that if we put too much carbon dioxide in the air, the Earth would get hot.

He didn't think it would happen as fast as it did 100 years later, but even Stockholm University was leading in understanding all of those systems.

And more recently, um, Stockholm university was the, was behind the, um, nine planetary boundaries.

It was published in the journal Viruses.

It's from the Department of Molecular Biosciences, Stockholm University.

The title is SARS-CoV-2 spike impairs DNA damage repair and inhibits VDJ recombination in vitro.

Now, what's interesting is I covered this study in 2021.

Yeah, thank you.

What else? people losing people of course that's a massive one now you know the fact that relationships will end it takes people so much time to come overcome a relationship loss once i was flying to stockholm i was doing an event in stockholm university so You know, when you get into a plane, there's always that moment when you don't know who's going to sit next to you.

So I was sitting down and then the plane was about to close.

Nobody was there.

And anyway, we had a good conversation after.

But it was interesting because the plane was coming down into Stockholm.

And so I turned to her, I said, I'm going to Stockholm University.

I'm giving a talk there called The Science of Letting Go.

podcast is for you.

Today, I'm joined by Professor David Oppenheimer of Berkeley Law, Panos Tapotes of University of Hartsmouth, and Laura Carlson of Stockholm University.

Together, they have built an international course in comparative equality law that connects the students and professors across several continents.

And today, we'll explore what they have learned about teaching law across borders and also hear a little about their personal perspectives on studying law abroad or on international education And to begin, I'd love for each of you to introduce yourself briefly.

Tell us a little bit about your work and explain how your own international experiences have shaped the way you think about legal education.

I want to thank you, Claudia, and thank you very much for this opportunity to be here, and also thank you very much for bringing up this subject, especially for a more American audience, because it's not something you're exposed to so often in law school.

I'm a professor in private law at Stockholm University, and I've been teaching there for over 25 years.

Sweden has a civil law system, which I define as judges do not perceive the role as making the law, but rather simply enforcing the law, which is a very different perspective than the common law perspective.

It's an absence of anxiety from things that can be taken from you.

And that is, while they pay higher tax rates and probably think, "Well, my son is less likely to be a billionaire graduating from the University of Stockholm than from MIT," I know that he's not gonna go bankrupt if his wife gets lung cancer.

And I think that's a big mistake we make in the US, is we equate happiness with, uh, solely with economic outcomes and with, um, uh, the likelihood that your son might be or your daughter might be a billionaire.

And I like what your dad said, that a, a big role of government is to try and remove as much anxiety and as much fear from the populace, uh, as possible.

It's by a really brilliant team of researchers.

Yeah, from Kyushu University, the University of Waterloo, and Stockholm University.

It's led by associate professor Joshua Fu.

Right.

Right.

They aren't giving up on finding it.

Magdalena Zych, a researcher from Stockholm University and a co-author of the paper, emphasized this extensively.

Their framework doesn't disprove the existence of quantum gravity.
