Getting with my budding young engineer for @rolfhut.bsky.social Surprise lab this weekend with @4pip.bsky.social @tudelftme.bsky.social at science centre

Interesting data by World Economic Forum presented in SEFI keynote: teachers are more respected than scientists: so why are they consistently paid less and looked down upon by scientists in academia?

Wat een seksistisch inslag heeft stuk in @ad.nl over Hesther Bijl. Alleen de vraag al: kan ze dat? Hebben ze nooit over Tim of Karel gevraagd. En bij Tim mag je echt twijfels hebben. Hesther heeft in Leiden meer onveilige profs publiek de deur uit gezet dan Delft. Daar kan Delft nog wat van leren.

Watching chapters come in as the deadline approaches is strangely addictive. Just 10 still to go. #AcademicSky

Vanwege de recente rampen even in de herhaling:

WIJ EISEN DE NACHT OP. Midden in de nacht. Lopend. Fietsend. Joggend. Over stille straten. Door een park. Of in de stad. Hoe we er ook uitzien, waar we ook zijn, hoe laat het ook is: laat vrouwen veilig thuiskomen. Download de 'doe-mee-kit' op www.wijeisendenachtop.nl

Initiatiefneemster wil doorpakken met actie 'Wij eisen de nacht op'

I bought myself a new calculator today. Green version does not run on batteries or external power. I wonder if it will become a thing. Only €1,50 in my local thrift store. Can’t wait to hand it to the first student who asks if they can borrow a calculator when we start back. 😂😎😇 #AcademicSky

I am blaming you @bmuramatsu.bsky.social for the influx of (F1) lego in our house… For which the boxes MUST be kept. Thankfully still the smaller models and not the huge ones.

No 2 has her diploma ceremony @tudelftme.bsky.social tonight. No drinks provided by school. Parents around me are horrified about the mandatory oatmeal coffee 😂

Herkenbare uitkomsten en wederom gaslighting en smoesjes over waarom het nog steeds niet opschiet met social veiligheid op de TUDelft

I never thought that watching a chimney and an occasional seagull can be so meditative…

Why I do what I do: despite having a shitty day - courtesy of slipping on the steps of comcrete stairs - I was deeply touched by an email from a former student to thank me for the impact I had on them. That email means more to me than my H-index ever will. #AcademicSky

Ga ik er eindelijk achter komen of ik deug…. Onwaarschijnlijk.

New record: 84 minute desk reject of qualitative paper by my phd in an empirical (education) journal that stopped doing qualitative but fails to mention that anywhere in scope. Open to suggestions for Delphi Study in Vocational (engineering) Education #AcademicSky

Veel van mijn collega’s willen meestaken op 24 april, maar zijn onbekend met Nederlandse stakingsrecht. Weet iemand een goede (liefst Engelstalige) link die ik kan delen over hoe en wat en die ook de Nederlandse vakbond cultuur uitlegt? #dtv

Two of the 200+ awesome delivery robots that drove around ribotics lab the past 2 days! Made by our year 2 TU Delft BSc Mechanical Engineering students who knew nothing about robotics, ROS & electronics 2 weeks ago! I kept the batmobile for my office. #AcademicSky #Engineering #engineeringeducation

Truely enjoyed the robotics art projects developed by teams of our Msc Robotics students in their spare time as part of Project Oscillion. We have amazingly creative students and great organizers. On display at TUDelft’s science centre from 4 April - 9 May. Do go and check them out. #academicsky

It’s official: I am away with the fairies.

I am still getting over the BBC rugby commentator exclaiming: “By the power of Grey Skull” yesterday.

Delighted that @wfvanvalkenburg.bsky.social is calling out that many faculties still not see education as equal to research. Shame that the programme manager Open Science TU Delft plays this down and uses it to promote his own faculty instead of standing with Willem.

Ik ken niemand die zo hard gewerkt heeft als Michael in de meest moeilijke omstandigheden met hele beperkte middelen. En die dump je zo? Een paar dagen voor de heropening waar hij zo hard voor gewerkt heeft? Want jij bent science museum expert? #socialsafety delta.tudelft.nl/article/dire...

Misschien kunnen grotere Nederlandse accounts, zoals @chrisklomp.nl @schimmelpenninck.bsky.social en @arjenlubach.bsky.social helpen dit onder de aandacht te brengen. #GeefWitsZijnLinkedinTeug

Very much enjoying this new project! Looking forward to finalising the teams and the first draft chapters. www.sefi.be/2025/02/06/p...

Interesting bit of knowledge @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social and engineers for europe symposium: only 33 out of the 720 MEPs hold engineering degrees and none of the EU commissioners. Question asked is whether that is problematic? #Academicsky

Traveling to Belgium for work. Annoyingly the promised WiFi on train not working. Grateful i lugged along a powerbank and unlimited data.

Share & care sessions hadden niets met “care” te maken. Men moet nog steeds bedenken hoe slachtoffers te helpen. Staat niet hoog op lijstje en gaat nog zeker 1 jaar duren. En bedankt he?

I think there will be many more who would happily support this call:

I feel recognized:

My new STEAM robot gear ready for use when needed. To go with hoodie

De inburgering van mijn IT echtgenoot is voltooid. Hij is HCC lid geworden.

When your Christmas family photo looks like this, this year:

True love: letting your husband take the car to a Commodore Club meeting when you still need to take teenager emergency Christmas shopping and its raining…

Hearing a Canadian explain Raspatat: so like poor men’s bitterballen 🤦‍♀️

@chcorbato.bsky.social @azgonnikov.bsky.social we should equip our robots with these 😂😂😂

Everytime I think I have seen every design failure at TU Delft, they manage to surprise me again. Obviously I am not meant to use a Mac beyond its battery life #academicsky

@chcorbato.bsky.social just when you think you have seen it all…

@chcorbato.bsky.social and this one. Starte packs are made by users to makenot easier for people to find their communities

@chcorbato.bsky.social follow link

@chcorbato.bsky.social check out #academicsky and the robotics starterpack!

In an attempt to restart the engineering community here after it fell apart overthere I have created a starterpack: go.bsky.app/LTv9bgL. Feel free to add/delete yourself (i think that’s how it works)

I was wondering is there an engineering education starter pack yet?

I did a thing last week and I am still over the moon about it!
