I dag var jeg i Stortinget for @Kreftforeningen for å argumentere for hvorfor bioteknologiloven må endres, til det beste for pasientene: Enklere tilgang til genterapi, forskning på befruktede egg, PGD for arvelig brystkreft og lagring av egg for dem uten livmor. @ingvildkjerkol

@flodebarre @angie_rasmussen @MarionKoopmans 5/It is very disappointing if you are not willing to discuss the matter without resorting to insults or dismissing the arguments of people who respectfully disagree with you. I am open to have another go if we can stay on topic and avoid making it personal.

@angie_rasmussen @TomLetessier1 @atuntable @mbw61567742 @nizzaneela @MarionKoopmans @flodebarre 2/ is not because you pointed out a factual error (about the order of names), it is because there are clear signs that the scientific system has been used by some to establish a specific narrative (zoonosis) to avoid having a lab origin investigated. That is unacceptable.

Løse påstander og skremsel holder ikke i debatten om genteknologi. Politikk må baseres på kunnskap, og den taler sterkt for at genteknologi kan være mer bra enn dårlig for naturen. @TrulsGulowsen @NaturogUngdom @SABIMAnorge @WWFNorge @GreenpeaceNorge

Noen presiseringer: 1. Norske helsemyndigheter har ikke gjort noe galt i denne saken. 2. At det har vært foul play i denne saken, betyr IKKE at forskere og myndigheter generelt ikke kan stoles på, altså at konspirasjonsteorier generelt er sanne.

Yesterday I taught my 8 & 5 year olds about how transposons naturally alters the genetic code of living organisms and gives us e.g multicolored maize. They were mindblown and now both want to become biologists ⭐️ #Knowledgeispower #STEM #Genetics #scicomm

I spørsmålet om Kjerkols tillit: hvorfor diskuteres ikke mer om hvorvidt vi kan ha en statsråd som lyver om sakens faktum i månedsvis? Det må vel være enda viktigere enn selve oppgavefusket (som i seg selv er diskvalifiserende selvsagt)? 🤷‍♀️

@StavaRune And to your other question; the main goal is to get to the truth about the origin of the pandemic and to have a sound scientific discussion on what we can and cannot conclude. If further polarization of the debate is required/ inevitable to get there, then yes, that is something

Gene editing with #CRISPR can increase plant productivity (more efficient photosynthesis), decrease food waste (increase shelf life), increase adaptability to climate change and much more. Should be a central part of this debate.

@StavaRune I think transparent peer review should be the standard. And it is becoming the standard in more and more journals. In general, transparent peer review helps inform the readers about the analyses strengths and weaknesses and understand the scientific process and how peer review

@flodebarre @angie_rasmussen @MarionKoopmans I am more interested in hearing your assessment about the core finding; that there was evidence of a reverse genetics system in the data. Do you agree with that conclusion and if so, could you think of a plausible explanation and share your view on the implications?

@angoffinet I am not afraid, but I am trying to avoid making more conflicts than necessary. I think it is important to keep focus on the origins question and the handling of the science by those responsible, rather than making it into an ever expanding mud slinging game. So while I am
