Yet another academic whining about grading (that’s me)

Grading.

You know. Grading.

Aarrgh.

But here is a little poem by David Hildebrand. Recommended for all those graders out there.

Technology and risk

On Monday, Wilhelm and I are off to Tullverket (the Swedish Customs) for a half day course. We will talk about the perception of danger, intelligence and forecasting, technological utopias and dystopias &c.

My startingpoint will be the Butler case. And then I will move on to Norman Bel Geddes, the Challenger disaster, and space weather.

What will the people in customs be like?
