Lid van de partij van charlantans, uitbuiters en hypocrites doet nog even extra populistisch. Wat studenten helpen is een crime nadat al hun onderwijs instituten zijn kapot gebombardeerd. Altijd sjieke lui die @vvdonline.bsky.social. Hulde Universiteit Utrecht.
Sjeez journalists at the #newyorktimes. Tune it down with the panic rethoric. Outbreaks of larger scale and impact occur daily and nobody gives a *** 'The hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius set off alarms for a world still traumatized by Covid. For those on board, the danger was much closer.'
Gisteren het hele fragment met @leftlaser.bsky.social gezien. Dit Kamerlid is een facist. Stopet het normaliseren hiervan. Ook media, noem het wat het is. De man kwam zelf niet eens door een security screening. www.nu.nl/politiek/639...
Bussen zijn rijdende deathtraps @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social, schandalig Hoe jullie vervangend vervoer regelen. Bussen propvol, kinderen, kinderwagens, volgepropt tot de nok en dan tientallen kilometers lang met 90km/h over de snelweg rijden in de koekblikken. Welke autoriteit kijkt hier naar?
In the wake of #ESCMID2026 we brought together our experts on #AMR in Munich to discuss critical issues and gaps that can be addressed by operational research. Aside from great technical conversations it was also a good oppurtunity to bring us together as people, colleagues and friends. @msf.org
Completely normal behaviour from the US top commander chief in charge of everything.
Nederlandse verslaggeving. Blijft fascinerend. De mening van van Gaal mensen. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...
@nu.nl is soms ook gewoon de weg kwijt. Noemen nieuwe burgemeester uit New York, 'radicaal links' - Dan is Trump zeker fascistisch rechts? (klopt wel redelijk).
Haha, vooral een schizofreen relaas, waar hij elke dag weer wat anders vindt.
Kwispelhondjes, als ze hun brokjes maar krijgen. Veroordeeld sexual offender, driver achter een mogelijke staatsgreep, man die adviseerde bleach in te spuiten tegen COVID, anti vaxx wappie. Grotesk leugenaar. Ja, maar ook verkozen leider. Sja, dat is waar, maar jullie hebben de keuze mbt ruggengraat
Emphathy is a strength, it's how we forge bound between us, without knowing each other. It's how we stand as humankind. Read Carl Sagan his Demon Haunted world, which despite coming from the 90s, resonates more than ever today. As Sagan said, this is home, this is where we make our stand.
Vandaag was ik uitnodigd samen met collega's van Artsen zonder Grenzen om te spreken over wat we zien in Gaza, het grote plaatje en de directe ervaringen van onze teams. Het was een oppurtuniteit om zorgmedewerkers bij elkaar te brengen. Kan je vertellen dat dit rauw en emotioneel was maar zo nodig.
Changes? Some for the better, and many for the worse, especially when the sun goes down. With over a million people that have no legal nationality and direct funding cuts, the situation remains vulnerable. Fortunately many kids with smiles, our jobs to keep that smile strong over their lifetime.
Soms lees je shit en dan denk je, mensen zien hun eigen valse redeneringen niet meer. Demonstreren is per definitie verstoren, en Schoof heeft opeens wel rode lijnen. Typisch voorbeeld van meer geven om het symbool dan de bikkelharde werkelijkheid. www.nu.nl/politiek/635...
When mining companies write articles that are supposed to be perceived neutrals and fact driven but are nothing short of PR and lobby. Be aware, it's not just the US
Eppo blijft een Eppo, maar zag sister deze voorbij komen. Populisme bestaat ook binnen de universiteiten: www.linkedin.com/posts/nwo_in...
Imagine what is being done here. The access to quality education was never really good in the US (look at the rankings), but this is extreme, whole generations will be disadvantaged here. And here we have this soulless privileged dickhead meming around about it.
The Dutch prime minister almost openly mentions that in the eye of the ceasefire, some lives are worth more than others. Yes these subtilities matter, because at one point you should start wondering why much needed aid supplies are not allowed to enter. #gaza
Off to London, to meet work friends, nothing better than the train. Work and moving at the same time.
Eve bluesky friends. Quick tech question (slightly important due to having lost WhatsApp messages of importance. Switched phones, did the backup-restore cycle as usual, but ran into the below error. Obviously wiped my old phone already 😭 Any help/restart/install did not help.
Some really nice presentations today on @msfsci.bsky.social operational research projects related to our migration projects in Europe. A often complex environment to do research but with a more complex environment important to learn how we can do better. #science
Just my two weekly reminder for you all. Read this book. Take Sagan his wisdom.
Vogelaars en wielrenners, mijn twee grote irritatie factoren tijdens een wandeling in de natuur. Als bioloog veel waardering voor observeren. Zie hier de wilde groep fotograven op #Texel, in de Slufter, die het nodig vonden om naar onze 2&3 jarige te schreeuwen dat ze door moesten lopen.
The best afternoon walks. Enjoying a longer period of leave with the family on beautiful Texel (Netherlands). Our goto place for relaxing. Cold, wind, a bit of snow and hail, but good clothes and some bitterballen afterwards make up for it!
New estimates on trauma injury mortality in Gaza conducted by colleagues from @lshtm.bsky.social. Some shocking high numbers estimating underreporting of mortality by 41% leading to many more victims 64 260 deaths (95% CI 55 298–78 525), Almost 60% were women, children and those above 65 years.
Indeed, yes scientists should up their comms game, but there is much, much more at play. And those foul mechanisms are not easily swept aside with scientists that communicate better. This is the era we are in.
Newsoutlets increasingly becoming weak in their primary job. Fact finding. Currently many are just dancing on the rhythm of hype instead of doing proper journalism. We have disregarded how important journalism is for a healthy society. A great example from the Netherlands.
