Writing a scientific paper or thesis? Over the years, I’ve gathered my favorite practical writing tips. I hope you find them helpful! Check them out: dlwiki.nin.nl/Writing_and_... #AcademicWriting #SciComm #WritingTips 🖊️🧪 🧠

Academische vrijheid staat onder druk en moet beter worden beschermd. Die conclusie lees je vandaag in dit KNAW-rapport: www.knaw.nl/nieuws/knaw-... Aanbevelingen o.m.: meer vrijheid van onderzoek, bescherming tegen intimidatie en minder inhoudelijke overheidsbemoeienis.

Opinie: Wetenschappers hebben straks geen tijd meer om in gesprek te gaan met burgers. @volkskrant.nl Een reactie van @doctaz.bsky.social, @lisamherzog.bsky.social, Jeroen Dera en mij op @markvanostaijen.bsky.social's oproep tot universitaire zelfkritiek.

My lab is looking for a PhD candidate, in collaboration with ​Bernhard Englitz​'s lab. www.ru.nl/en/working-a...

The further I get in my career, the more my thoughts return to this book (on my bookshelves in a Dutch translation). There is so little time to just do what you are doing well.

Come along to the UK neural computation conference! Registration now open. Check out this awesome set of speakers, and even more importantly loads of opportunities to interact with your fellow computationally minded UK neuroscientists (including a mind matching session hopefully).

It took a while, but it's finally out there! How 'lossy' is information transfer in (barrel) cortex? We show that the full stimulus information is typically present at the (input) EPSP, but gets lost at the spike output of a single cell. doi.org/10.1093/cerc...

Looking forward to this! In two weeks I will discuss with Pim Haselager and Roel Heremans what we can measure in the brain, how we can stimulate it and what to do with such data and technologies. Organized by @radboudreflects.bsky.social & Lindenberg Art and Technology. www.ru.nl/en/services/...

Moeten we überhaupt wel willen dat AI voor ons literatuur leest? Is dat niet juist wat we wèl moeten doen, en wat minder, ik zeg maar iets, zinloze administratie? @voxweb.bsky.social www.voxweb.nl/nieuws/elsev...

Such a fun day! Almost 50 #highschool students joined the the sixth edition of the Dutch Brain Bee to become the Dutch Brain Champion of the year. It took place at the beautiful Huygensgebouw of the Radboud University @dondersinst.bsky.social in #Nijmegen! hersenolympiade.nl/en/

The new BrainHelpDesk is live! 🧠 Still have questions after #BrainAwarenessWeek? Ask them at 👉 www.brainhelpdesk.nl/en/ — or check if the answer’s already there! Experts explain brain science in clear, accessible language.

And we are live! Yesterday, during the Dutch Brain Olympiad at the @dondersinst.bsky.social we launched our new, bilingual website: brainhelpdesk.nl

It's launch day! Join us at the Dutch Brain Olympiad #DBO25 and see how our brand new shiny website gets officially opened! @dondersinst.bsky.social

Vandaag is Nijmegen aan de beurt, ik staak mee!

A quick preview! Official launch Sunday March 16th, Huygensgebouw (Heyendaalseweg 135) in Nijmegen. During the yearly Dutch Brain Olympiad (www.hersenolympiade.nl) and the #BrainAwarenessWeek

“De waarde van hogescholen en universiteiten wordt niet herkend. De overheid was rancuneus en wilde het onderwijs pakken. We staan erbij en kijken er naar.” Geweldige column @ozcanakyol.nl

Leg het werk neer en ga donderdag mee staken. Die oproep doen drie Nijmeegse hoogleraren aan hun collega’s. De brief is zo’n 160 keer ondertekend door professoren van verschillende faculteiten. ‘Universiteiten zijn fundamenteel voor de democratie.’

Lieve collega’s, kan dit nou eindelijk eens stoppen? We (meisjes, vrouwen, non-binary, …) are here to stay, deal with it! En trouwens een grote thumbs up naar alle collega’s die ons wèl steunen. delta.tudelft.nl/article/ik-z...

Exciting opportunity for all of you doing outreach!

We will officially launch the 16th of March, during the Dutch Brain Olympiad and the Brain Awareness Week!

My lab is looking for a computational neuroscience postdoctoral researcher: www.ru.nl/en/working-a... Come join us at the @dondersinst.bsky.social!

👭 Today, the world celebrates #International #Women and #Girls in #Science #Day, established by the UN. A moment to reflect on the progress made and the challenges that remain. Three female PIs give insights into their career and experiences: 👉 www.ru.nl/en/donders-i...
