You will have some lecture. @crokybe.bsky.social made it ! A long way, a long task but at the end... 💯

#LeidenForce 1-year, we celebrate our DCs ▶️Meet the #TrueForce: urls.fr/PkBeF6 @ulbruxelles.bsky.social @utwente.bsky.social @istaresearch.bsky.social @universitedeliege.bsky.social @univlille.bsky.social @ntnu-iss.bsky.social @universiteuppa.bsky.social @espciparispsl.bsky.social #MSCA #HorizonEu

ChatGTP ressemble de plus en plus à un senior scientist qui fait le malin avec à un stagiaire : "Oui — le pousse-seringue KDS200 (série 200) peut fonctionner en mode withdraw (retrait), à condition que votre modèle particulier soit un modèle avec fonction retrait/infusion."

Un slide que j'aime bien montrer

On ne sait pas trop ce que "comprendre" signifie. Le travail de recherche est confronté à deux problèmes. (1) On ne sait pas ce que l'on doit chercher. (2) Malgré (1), on trouve.

A ce jour, de ce que je comprends. On ne sait pas ce que veut dire "comprendre". Problème 1: On ne sait pas vraiment ce que l'on cherche. Problème 2 (plus préoccupant): On trouve des trucs.

A few second before : "The jury is now invited to ask questions to the candidate"

Faut-il arrêter de prendre l'avion quand on est scientifique ? Je vous dis mes POUR, mes CONTRE, et mon avis finalement. Et j'attends le votre dans les commentaires ! youtube.com/shorts/r3lqF...

Welcome Gauri Patki (DC#4) to #LeidenForce! She will study #LeidenfrostJets at @laboratoire-iemn.bsky.social @fst-ulille.bsky.social & @universitedeliege.bsky.social PtYX. PI: @leduke21.bsky.social & @marca-be.bsky.social + @airbus.com secondment. www.leidenforce.eu/welcomegaurinews #FluidDynamics

My thesis advisor, M. Ausloos, passes away. Nobody could expect better scientific guide. www.dela.be/fr/centre-fu...

Welcome Mélanie Bulois DC#10 to #LeidenForce! She’ll explore the #LeidenfrostEffect in multiphase #microfluidics, where droplets levitate & evaporate in tiny channels. Research @ulbruxelles.bsky.social with Benoit Scheid + secondment @universiteuppa.bsky.social 🔗 www.leidenforce.eu/welcomemelan...

Sorry to bother you but… nobody, here, on this Continent, feels concerned about that. Yesterday, I wore my RedSox hat and, it seems that this action had zero influence on the result.

Il y a des papiers, ils sont depuis tellement longtemps chez les ref que j'ai peur de ne même plus me souvenir dans quel dossier je les ai mis.

🚨 #RedSox head to the postseason for the first time since 2021 in a come-from-behind victory vs #Tigers at Fenway Park.
