When Data Meets Dogma: Why Scientific Integrity Matters Danish researchers tracked 1.2 MILLION children for over two decades. They found “no significant risk of developing autoimmune, allergic or neurodevelopmental disorders was associated with exposure to aluminium compounds in vaccines.” Their response to political pressure? They didn’t back down. Data is data. When powerful people attack research because it contradicts their predetermined beliefs, they’re not protecting autistic people. They’re protecting their own narratives. Real scientific integrity looks like: • Following evidence wherever it leads • Replicating studies across populations • Admitting when you’re wrong • Standing firm when you’re right Science isn’t about proving what you already believe. It’s about discovering what’s actually true - even when that truth is inconvenient. Thank you to every researcher who chooses data over dogma, evidence over influence, and truth over comfort.

🦾🩺Hans Christian Wulf, Senior Hospital Physician at Bispebjerg Hospital, has used both engineering and medical science to reduce the side effects of light therapy. On Monday, August 18, he defended his third doctoral thesis. UV RADIATION AS TREATMENT Different skin types react differently to UV radiation, which is used in the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis and childhood eczema. Knowledge of how individual skin types react to radiation is crucial to adjusting UV doses and thus improving the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of skin conditions. After decades of research in this field and doctorates in medicine and pharmacy, Hans Christian Wulf has now added a technical doctorate to his list of achievements. A milestone that would not have been possible without interdisciplinary collaboration with engineers, he says: “I see the role of engineering in the development of modern medical treatment as a necessity. I don’t believe that doctors can do and know everything.” DEVICES FOR SKIN REDNESS AND UV CABINS He earned his technical doctorate by developing devices that measure skin redness and pigmentation when exposed to UV radiation, which allows treatments to be tailored to the individual patient. In addition, Hans Christian Wulf has defined the international unit of measurement SED (Standard Erythema Dose), in which UV doses are measured. The engineering approach was also evident in the invention of optimised UV cabins (specialised rooms used in light therapy) that can reduce the required UV dose by up to 68 per cent, thereby enhancing the safety of patients. Among other things, these inventions and the associated research are presented in Hans Christian Wulf’s thesis, which earned him his technical doctorate. The degree of Doctor Technices (dr. techn.) is the highest Danish academic honour in engineering and technical and natural sciences.
