Next session! Curious to hear how colleagues are dealing with this challenge! #EMAC2026

Now attending: Special Session - Second Lives: How Consumers Repair, Repurpose, and Recirculate Products! Full house! Great to see more research and interest for these topics at #EMAC2026

Day two of #EMAC2026. Yesterday delivered: good session, interesting work on CRM and sustainability, and a reminder that presenting always clarifies your own thinking more than anything else. This morning starting with a session on open science practices! Superimportant!

"You can't buy happiness but you can buy a bike and that's pretty close!" Happy #WorldBicycleDay! 🔊

Preparing my talk for #EMAC2026 about our project on behavioural spillover effects of plastic regulation changes. Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and exchanging ideas. First time in Bath, so any tips on things not to miss are welcome! #sustainabilitypolicy #consumerresearch

Good news everyone 🥳 Our (w @vincentab.bsky.social) primer on models as prediction machines (with the marginaleffects package) is finally officially published!> journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The New York Times seems to know me well, because I must admit I felt like a robot sometimes while grading last week... #AcademicSky

Not as good as the real thing but highly recommended for your second screen if you have to do computer work #birding #nature #academiclife #BeleefDeLente www.vogelbescherming.nl/beleefdelente

Great to see that the University of Groningen @rug.nl is working on this! ukrant.nl/magazine/we-...

Tuesday, I joined about 7,500 colleagues in Amsterdam to strike and protest against the budget cuts in higher education. With a new coalition taking shape, it’s worrying how little attention education gets. Cutting education budgets is so short-sighted! #WOinActie

Vanaf januari organiseren we een nieuwe cursus Sterrenkijken voor iedereen! In vier avonden duik je in de wereld van sterren, planeten en sterrenbeelden. Meer weten? Kijk op www.waddensky.com/activiteiten... #cursus #sterrenkijken #sterrenhemel

Dit demissionair kabinet voert ingrijpende onderwijsbezuinigingen door, zonder benodigd mandaat. Dat moet stoppen, zeggen Rens Bod, Remco Breuker en Ingrid Robeyns.

Grant writing: done (for now). Back to grading and reviews, which—for now—feel oddly manageable. I’ll enjoy the illusion while it lasts.

Moderated the Sustainable Marketing event last Wednesday, organized by our study association Marug. Speakers from Circolide @thomasfreese.bsky.social, Hortus Botanicus Haren, and FIND shared perspectives from ⚛️ green chemistry, 🎓 environmental education, and ♻️ second-hand retail respectively. (1/2)

Back from a 1-week cycling trip with the family. 🚴‍♂️🏕️ Two days later and it already feels like a distant dream— Grading ✔️ Staff meetings ✔️ Paper revisions ✔️ Grant proposal writing✔️ Academic pace: ruthless. Legs still recovering, brain catching up with the inbox. #AcademicLife

Interesting piece (in Dutch) on the diffusion of Signal in the northern part of the Netherlands. Great teaching material for my lectures on diffusion models and social contagion!

🎓 We're hiring for a PhD project on charitable giving—real data, field experiments, and long-term donor behavior. Supervised by Roelof Hars, @marijkeleliveld.bsky.social and me. ⏰ Deadline extended to April 13—applications are coming in, but you're not too late yet! shorturl.at/URoOu #AcademicSky

Yesterday at our own @unigroningen.bsky.social - FEB PhD conference, 2 of ‘my’ PhDs presented their work: 👣 One on behavioral spillover from sustainability policy shifts 👗 One on (un)sustainable fashion consumption (1/2)

almost ready to leave to the grote markt

I am going on strike today to protest against the government's budget cuts on higher education. #DOEHETNIET

4500 mensen bij de staking aan de UvA! #WOinActie #DoeHetNiet

This well-designed (in many ways) online course of @carlbergstrom.com and @jevinwest.bsky.social on LLMs is highly recommended! To the point, critical, and full of examples. Can't wait until all videos are available!

Print this out and put it on your pinboard! Most compact and at the same time clear and intuitive figure on possible associations between predictors and outcome (or variables). (source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/..., by @dingdingpeng.the100.ci and @achatton.bsky.social)

This is a good analysis explaining why the scientic migration to bluesky worked when it failed to take hold with mastadon, threads, or linkedin. The key is network effects: Moving an entire community is hard and people are reluctant to leaveit www.science.org/content/arti...

Dit monsterverbond is nu verantwoordelijk voor een monsterbezuiniging. CDA, CU, SGP, JA21 maken zich gedoogpartner van dit PVV-kabinet en brengen daarmee grote schade aan, aan ons onderwijs en onze toekomst. Collega’s, doe dit niet.

Again protesting against the proposed budget cuts. This time we gathered on our @unigroningen.bsky.social campus and blew our whistles for a full minute. Our message to the government was clear: Doe het niet (Don't do it)! #doehetniet @woinactie.bsky.social

Waar kun je je stem laten horen en/of de regering terugfluiten? In elke universiteitsstad. Voor meer informatie: 2/2 woinactie.blogspot.com?m=1

Nog steeds een onacceptabel compromis. Hopelijk houdt de oppositie de rug recht.

On my way to The Hague to protest against the government's budget cuts on higher education! Hope to see many colleagues there! @woinactie.bsky.social

the fallout from the Francesca Gino research misconduct scandal isn't over. @engber.bsky.social writes about how an effort by some of her colleagues to self-audit their work with her ended up raising even more questions — for them personally and their whole field www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Thanks to one of my colleagues for 'updating' the poster on my office door. And yes, I will join the protest in The Hague on Monday 25th! @woinactie.bsky.social

How it started How it's going @rug-gmw.bsky.social

Samen met @rensbod.bsky.social en @remcobreuker.bsky.social betoog ik vandaag in NRC waarom de aangekondigde bezuiniging op de universiteiten irrationeel, onnodig, en onwenselijk is - maar om dat te zien helpt het te weten wat aan de investering 2 jaar geleden vooraf ging. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/...

Dutch university staff: want to know how to raise your voice against the imminent budget cuts? Here's a list of things you can do. crookedtimber.org/2024/09/06/a...

Onze samenleving schreeuwt om adequaat opgeleide jonge mensen. Toch kondigt het kabinet-Schoof bezuinigingen van een miljard euro aan op het hoger onderwijs. Een grote coalitie roept iedereen op om hiertegen in verzet te komen. neerlandistiek.nl/2024/07/besc...

If you didn't already know that academic publishing is a racket - this beautifully outlines all the myriad ways in which it routinely extorts everyone involved with it.

We are excited to present the 4️⃣th Causal Data Science Meeting on November 5–6, co-hosted by Copenhagen Business School and Maastricht University. This year, we are very happy to have Susan Athey from Stanford GSB as our keynote speaker. 🗓 #CDSM24 More info under: causalscience.org
