🍃 Trail run this morning through the National Park to close off the vacation in Limburg’s Hoge Kempen
Really cool to enter the @nikhef.bsky.social building with a view straight into the beautiful @lhcb.bsky.social VELO detector
Unveiling of the LHCb VELO detector in the @nikhef.bsky.social exposition strip. Beautiful!
🎓 Today I’m at the University of Amsterdam for the PhD defense committee of Vaisakh Plakkot
Today the Nikhef Nobel Runners “inaugurated” our new shirts with a 5K run around Amsterdam Science Park 🏃🏻♀️
Is it a problem to be "already well-established"? This year, I had my last chance to submit an application to the NWO Vici grant. Apparently, I am "already well-established" and the committee is "not fully convinced it would contribute to their further consolidation". So, third time's no charm...
On my way to Twente with the international Eurocity train connection from Brussels via Almere to Lelystad, even announced in French 😄
🏅 Today we ran the Nobel Run in the green area of Almere Nobelhorst. What started as a tongue-in-cheek physics joke about Nobel prizes became a fun sporty event with about 20 Nikhef colleagues
Tomorrow: 15k NobelRun in Almere with twenty (!) @nikhef.bsky.social colleagues 🏃🏻♀️ 🏃♂️
This week we had our annual Nikhef ‘Jamboree’ gathering at Amsterdam Science Park Had a good time co-organizing a session on social media and presenting the status of our ATLAS detector at CERN Thanks for the pics @koppenburg.ch @particleclara.bsky.social @ivovanvulpen.bsky.social
Inspiring colloquium at @nikhef.bsky.social by @lukasheinrich.com on AI in Particle Physics
Today was the exam High Energy Physics, concluding my course for this year. See you soon University of Twente!
NNV Fysica session on the future of Big Science: prospects for collider physics and gravitational waves 💫
Had an interesting visit of the HFML (high-field magnets) and FELIX (free electron laser) labs in Nijmegen 🧲 🚨
Always nice to get a tour through the various labs at the University of Twente campus: superconducting magnets, vacua and liquid helium 🧲 🥶⚡️
Today, to close the lectures on High Energy Physics at University of Twente, the students will give a presentation on their topic of choice. Looking forward to the presentations!
