Join me 👇🏽 #CirculatoryHealth for #ALS at #UtrechtSciencePark Night Run 7 • 11. Choose a distance 5-10-15km. Join our team "Circulatory Health for ALS". Let's do this! 💪🏽 www.vanderlaanscience.nl/posts/circul... @umcutrecht.bsky.social #CirculatoryHealth

👇👇👇 deadline for applying to this awesome opportunity is coming up on Friday Sept 12th! www.baker.edu.au/career/head-...

Fed up with these invites for reviews from journals no-one reads nor is interested in. I have no high hopes... #reviewing #predatoryjournals #academia

🚨 Preprint Alert 🚨 "Major depression and atherosclerotic disease: linking shared genetics to pathways in blood, brain, heart, and atherosclerotic plaques. " 🧠🫀🩸 The title says it all. Great collaboration with @swvanderlaan.bsky.social . 📄 Read it here: bit.ly/4eTM8T2

The Future is Now. Jessica van Setting hosting Folkert Asselbergs and Pim van der Harst to talk about AI with ESC and funded by @erc.europa.eu. More on www.nextgentools.eu. #NextGen #AI #artificialintelligence #ESC #Horizon esc365.escardio.org/event/2083

“Research-integrity analysts are warning that ‘journal snatchers’ — companies that acquire scholarly journals from reputable publishers — are turning legitimate titles into predatory, low-quality publications with questionable practices” #HigherEd #Journals 🧪 #Research www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Tim Peters wrote a ✨ great blogpost ✨in laymen's terms on our paper. Check it out here 👉🏽 www.vanderlaanscience.nl/news/phenomicl

Did we tell you about this news? www.vanderlaanscience.nl/news/care-t1d Glad for the support to be able to collaborate with @clintomics.bsky.social Suna Onengut-Gumuscu and @metecivelek.bsky.social from #UVA.

And also very grateful to be part of #AtheroNETH. www.vanderlaanscience.nl/news/atheron... This major project is truly a remarkable collaboration involving researchers from all major university medical centers in The Netherlands. #TeamScience #Hartstichting

Excited to finally share our work on attention-based multiple instance learning to quantify and characterize intraplaque haemorrhage in carotid plaque whole slide images from >2500 patients in AtheroExpress. Fun collaboration with @swvanderlaan.bsky.social and Craig Glastonbury labs.

🚀 Thrilled to announce our latest #preprint on intraplaque haemorrhage (IPH) quantification and molecular 🧬characterisation of carotid plaques using deep learning. A thread 🧵👇🏽

Will They Come for PubMed Next? www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

'Exploiteren wij/zij-denken, ontmenselijken minderheden, verspreiden complottheorieën, hameren op vijandbeelden, je minder radicaal voordoen dan je bent, opjutten jongeren, heldenverering, ondermijnen rechtsstaat, kritiek verdacht maken, verzet kop indrukken – herkenbaar?' www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Leaders have been saying "let's make every scientists a communicator" for decades. I'd say we have evidence that isn't the answer. It's an example of the scholastic fallacy - which says scientists think everyone thinks about things the same way we do.

There is strong evidence of Russian intervention and influence in recent Western voting - not least in the USA with the election of a president who echoes Russian propaganda, fires military top brass, weakens alliances, threatens neighbours,, drops cyber security against Russia and bullies Ukraine.

The potential! We can easily double the *actual* data sharing by the end of this year #DutchScientists! #ScienceMatters #OpenSciencw #OpenAccess

To what extent do researchers funded by Dutch Research Council NWO and ZonMw share the research data and code underlying their publications? Today we published an analysis based on 10.000+ papers using the open source tool Grobid: www.nwo.nl/en/news/shar... All underlying data openly available!

Interessant. Ik bedenk mij ook dat mensen allerlei labels geven niet perse helpt ('rechts-radicaal', 'linkse rakker', etc). En dat geldt dan voor alle betrokken partijen. Waarom zou de een dan nog met ander willen praten, of andersom? www.scienceguide.nl/2025/01/foru...

Good good. The Future of Science *is* Open. Agreed: failing actually means learning. Fail fast and often, and you learn. #openscience #rewards #recognition www.scienceguide.nl/2024/12/niet...

Interesting findings below. But @scienceguide.bsky.social : where is the link to the actual research? #openscience #rewards #recognition #science www.scienceguide.nl/2025/01/narr...

#microplastics are associated with #cardiovascular disease. Important news. 👇🏽 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Sitting all day behind a desk? Feeling slow and tired? Try out the free and great Pomodoro Office Workout (trademark and patent pending) 👇💪 www.vanderlaanscience.nl/posts/pomodo... You'll be primed and ready for Christmas and year's end when you start doing this *every* day. #stayhard

Earlier I wrote a ✍️ post on #ExpressScan 👇 www.vanderlaanscience.nl/posts/a-stor... 💫 Joost Mekke showed that glycophorin C is an excellent marker for intraplaque hemorrhage 👇 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37816779/

New ✍️ post 👇 PubMed Miner - retrieving your publications (and those of your broader team) in one go. www.vanderlaanscience.nl/posts/pubmed-miner

I just realized that a private citizen is effectively turned into a king with zero accountability and without any representation. This private citizen appears awfully like a modern-day Rasputin or Rumpelstiltskin. #AmericanPolitics #Trump #Election2024 #America

The radical right is in power. And it does not care for research. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

New blog post for those in #academia and elsewhere aiming to get a bit fitter. As someone once said "do or do not, there is no try". #FitnessMotivation #StayHard #canthurtme #DavidGoggins #JesseItzler www.vanderlaanscience.nl/posts/pomodo...

This is the future IMHO. Way too much of our research grants (read: taxpayer money), perversely, goes to enriching big publishers like Elsevier, ostensibly to promote open-access. These big publishers provide very little value for $.
