Watching a volleyball coach teach volleyball in three languages at once it's quite entertaining...

What does a university have that Google cannot offer its workers? Art History departments, Classics departments, History departments, Music Theory, etc. The humanities are what distinguishes universities in an AI economy. Universities defunding the humanities are digging their own graves.

Bread. Rye, black pepper and cumin.

Saarland. I never post images of my kids. This seems like a safe exception...

My old university NTNU in Trondheim is finally! recruiting a fully tenured associate professor in modern environmental history. This is a great opportunity for the right person. #envhist

I'm super thrilled that my Comment on the vital role that #libraries have played in the history of #preprint communication in #physics is now out with @natrevphys.nature.com 🥳🥳🥳 www.nature.com/articles/s42... (message me if you can't access the article! It's not a preprint 😉)

How did the whole #preprint thing start? 🤔 In my #OA article, I look closely at how the #library at @cern.bsky.social formalized preprint #communication in #physics in the 1960s; while my Comment in @natrevphys.nature.com gives a general overview: doi.org/10.1038/s422... doi.org/10.1007/s110...

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

America might just need to release the Epstein Files to distract from this war of incompetence.

Remember this when someone tells you ‘science isn’t political’.

I'm increasingly seeing students on campus with a leather briefcase. Laptops fit inside comfortably. This is a trend I can get behind.

Excited and happy to report that we (@ccmmody.bsky.social, Ewout Meijer, Marielle Prevoo, Yannis Stravrakakis, Penelope Bollini, and I) will be able to start the new project "Invisible knowledge work and the transformation and scaling of open science practices". This is a unique project --> 1/2

With the new government's changed retirement policies in the air, my mid-career moment could also be today. Turns out, mid-career was and is a temporaly plural event!

Our brilliant PhD student, Hannah Piehl, published her first paper: "Between Map and Maze: reframing trust in healthcare AI": link.springer.com/article/10.1... It shows how in writing on AI in healthcare, intersecting and conflicting views on trust and trustworthiness interfere with one another. 1/

I have a new GP. Turns out he was a former student of mine. Teaching a single medical ethics lecture now has an immediate positive effect on my personal life.

I am currently jointly supervising students with three (recently) retired professors. Retired existence in academia is many things at once, and there is no singular approach to it. Letting go seems to be very hard, especially letting go of influence.

“One of the great weaknesses of our era is we get lone superhero movies that suggest that our big problems are solved by muscly guys in spandex, when actually the world mostly gets changed through collective effort, more like caregiving than it is like war.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m...

Ai heeft weer wat over the Netherlands verzonnen hoor.

A wild exchange captured in yesterday's AAP decision overturning RFK Jr's ACIP appointments. The Trump admin argues that the CDC can literally advocate for *spreading measles* without court review under the APA. This case isn't just about vaccine policy. This is a battle for objective truth.

In de gemeente Vaals ook deze abri's. Meerdere. Maar ja. Het kan niét. Althans dat stemmen op D66 dan. Want in onze gemeente doet D66 helemaal niet mee.

In a sense, we have completely replaced a lot of scientific processes with the power of statistical methodology and essentially outsourced part of our scientific thinking and practice to statistical inference. And now we're confronted with the risk of the same thing happening with AI.

I know I don't complain about academic working culture as much as I should - but here is my contribution for today: 77 emails in a single weekend, outside of office hours, is not particularly healthy. Only a handful of these are from other time zones, and most are just from inside my own institute.

International Women's Day is the perfect moment to remind myself and others that I owe my academic development to two absolutely amazing female mentors. I can only aspire to their level.

Timeline cleanse... Spring has arrived in our garden!

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The model of unpaid academic labor required good jobs with ample unstructured time.

Anna hat Max gebeten, ihr beim Bau einer Legoburg zu helfen. Weil er aber alle ihre Steine anlutscht bevor er sie zu einem Raumschiff zusammenbaut, will sie doch nicht mehr das er mitspielt. Ich vertrete Max und erkläre dem Erzieher, dass Anna Max weiter mitspielen lassen muss.

Next academic year's teaching will consist of group conversations around a fireplace, with a glass of cognac.
