Ben echt met stomheid geslagen... Echt alles moet kapot van het kabinet. (en dan heb ik het nog niet over ggz problemen die worden doorgeschoven naar toekomst, werkenden die meer belast worden, etc. Maar gelukkig kunnen we wat kilometers 130km/u rijden... stelletje lapzwansen)

Geen studentensportvoorzieningen meer. Geen studium generale meer. Geen universiteitsmuseum meer. Geen publiekslezingen meer. Geen hortus meer. Dan ook geen Bildung meer. Geen universiteit meer. Eppo maakt echt alles kapot. 🤬 delta.tudelft.nl/article/kabi...

I'm able to make this animation of how the ocean breathes in and out CO₂ because of data collected by NOAA scientists, data served at NOAA websites, and tools provided by NASA. All are under threat of being dismantled by the Trump administration.

This! Why do we keep fooling ourselves (also at @unigroningen.bsky.social) when we know these evaluations are at best useless but often harmful? Student input would be better collected in conversations with groups of students. And yes that takes time, but how serious do you want to take evaluation?

Happy ending story, even though the ending is not yet there :D It took a lot of discussions and a lot of work from many sides, but went really smoothly so far! Great writeup by one of the main people that pushed the idea to action: blog.robur.coop/articles/202... #ocaml

We hebben bij #WOinActie even de beleidsbrief van @eppobruins.bsky.social verbeterd. Het was nogal een rommeltje, stond vol met fouten, verkeerde aannames, foute conclusies en dommigheden. En docenten zijn nu eenmaal docenten. Graag gedaan, beste minister! woinactie.blogspot.com/2025/03/woin...

That's the scary future already upon us. Interest groups will use AI to write scientific-looking, gibberish "papers". Then they'll find a publisher accepting it for a couple thousand $. The result will be hailed as a "scientific publication" & used for propaganda. We are in for a wild ride.

Happy birthday to one of greatest #mathematicians of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🧮🎢 #histsci Noether’s theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law.

The current administration is straight up censoring the scientific record by requiring authors to alter an already-accepted research paper because it uses banned words such as "gender" and "equitable" and presents data broken down by sexual orientation.
