Tap Talks (in Swedish)

04 Sep

If a crisis or war occurs. How does our healthcare cope with a war, a disaster, the next pandemic? And how do we distinguish what we really need to worry about from the myths and fears that easily take over?

Few can answer this with the same authority as Johan von Schreeb. As a surgeon and professor of global disaster medicine at Karolinska Institutet, and with long experience from Doctors Without Borders, he has been present in some of the most severe disasters and conflicts of our time, from Ukraine to Lebanon. He has seen what can be achieved with incredibly limited resources, but also how much warmth and humanity often exists amidst the chaos.

What can we learn from the places in the world where the unthinkable has already happened? A conversation about resilience, about knowledge and experience as our strongest preparedness, and about the human ability to help and grow amidst the toughest circumstances.

AI agents are here — the question is no longer whether you should use them, but how. In this TapTalk, Karin Hamberg Stén takes us into what is actually possible today: how to build, train, and delegate to your own AI agents, and what new ways of working it opens up.

An evening filled with inspiration and concrete examples — you will leave here with a sense that AI is something that enhances you, not replaces you.

Karin Hamberg Stén
AI expert, strategist, and co-founder of Studio Stén — an AI studio that helps companies actually implement generative AI, not just talk about it.

How should we understand Russia? Following the news may not be enough.

Bengt Jangfeldt, one of our foremost experts on Russian history and culture, takes us into the Russian world of ideas. What is the narrative Russia has about itself? How have the recurring swings between strict governance and shorter periods of political thaw affected the country up to today?

And does history tell us anything about how Russia may act in the future, perhaps regardless of who is in power?

A conversation about history, power, and myths, about a country that sees itself with entirely different eyes than we do, and why that difference is more important than ever to understand.

Bengt Jangfeldt: Author and translator

He has been awarded the August Prize twice, and in Us and Them he explores "the Russian idea", a book that has become tragically relevant due to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.

What happens after the microphones are turned off? One meeting leads to another. A crocodile ends up on the autopsy table, and perhaps can help people with hearing impairments. A meeting with a Nobel laureate turns into an inspiring hug fest with children in a Stockholm suburb. A radio segment becomes a symphony. The ripples continue long after the program is over.

On November 10, we will meet Lena Nordlund, science journalist at Sveriges Radio and honorary doctor at KTH, awarded for her ability to portray the people behind the research.
We discuss the unexpected ripples her journalism has created – between science, art, music, and people – and what nearly three decades behind the microphone have taught her.
