M.Sc. from <a href="http://uk.kvl.dk/main.asp">The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University</a>, Copenhagen, Denmark. Professional interests include scientific journalism, ecology and bioinformatics. Geeky enough to be 'vining using Mozilla on an OpenSuSE box. Live in Copenhagen, Denmark. <em>For a more extensive 'about me thingy', check out <a href="http://www.virb.com/benno_hansen">my profile at Virb</a>.</em> But in short, I'm to the left and biocentric side of 99% of Newsvine; mainly contributing texts on The Evil Empire, football (us: soccer) and biology. Participated in <a href="http://ejc.net/">European Journalism Centre</a>'s <a href="http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think2/blogger/hansen">TH!NK ABOUT IT #2: Climate Change</a> (winner) and currently in <a href="http://development.thinkaboutit.eu/think3/blogger/hansen2">TH!NK ABOUT IT #3: Developing World</a>. <ins><strong>Why Newsvine?</strong></ins> I post and write at Newsvine because I'm weboholic, I guess. And to keep my writing sharp, perhaps even improving it. And of course because I love to write and can't help it. Reading what I've written always makes me think of something I left out - even though I leave more out of texts than I keep. Inspired by <a href="http://super-structure.newsvine.com/?more=About">Jason Coleman</a>, I think I'll try and define my guidelines for Newsvine conduct. These are subject to changes at any time. <ol> <li>Most importantly, I wish to learn more about the events going on in the world around me. In doing so, I hope to carry on conversations with others here of different opinions, backgrounds, and beliefs, all of which will help me to learn.</li> <li>I will use the seed comment space for paragraphs quoted from the article (properly indicated as a quote). I think this gives readers a chance to see if the article is of any interest to them before spending any more time. I will <strong>not add a first comment to my seeds and articles</strong> unless this seems logical for some reason (updates, related stories etc) other than the current trend of self promotion.</li> <li>I will always try to limit my comments to areas of my knowledge, clear statements of my opinion, presentation of evidence in a discussion, and polite and civil conversation. I will treat everyone here as if they were sitting at my table. That is to say, I will not use Newsvine as a way to anonymously attack others. However, I have strong opinions in many areas and will not sugar-coat them.</li> <li>I will <strong>rarely vote for my own seeds, posts, or comments</strong>. I wish for those to reflect those who have decided that they have found my seed or post of interests or agree with a comment I have made.</li> <li>I'm not in a popularity contest. I will <strong>not add people to my friends lists just to mow my way to attention</strong>. That is not unless I actually like them and what they contribute to Newsvine. That includes me agreeing with them on a few subjects and their conduct. Some opinions will excude you from my friends list: racism and xenophobia, religious extremism, pro-war opinions, blatant promotion of far right wing agendas, explicit homophobia and intolerance in general. (Dichotomy acknowledged - let me live with it.) <br /> If I am currently on your friends list and you have a problem with any of this, please feel free to remove me right away.</li> <li>I will <strong>not seed AP stories</strong> unless they are not at Newsvine. I am really annoyed by people seeding AP stories.</li> </ol> I know these guidelines will keep me away from the top of the Newsvine Leaderboard, but they will make me feel OK about that too.
