    “I started a spreadsheet, which is what middle-class professionals do when faced with systemic problems — we quantify things, as if converting human suffering into Excel cells might render it more manageable.” Via @gvwilson.

    En weer iets om woedend van te worden: wegbezuinigen van de NTR die misschien wel het summum is van de taak van een publieke omroep. Petitie voor behoud NTR is inmiddels 14.460 keer getekend.

      Behoud de NTR en haar programma’s
      Minister Bruins van OCW ziet geen toekomst voor de NTR binnen de publieke omroep. Maar zonder de NTR geen onafhankelijke programmering op het gebied van educatie, jeugd, cultuur, wetenschap en informatie. Essentieel voor een goed geïnformeerde, inclusieve en democratische samenleving.

    * Mama, mag ik je twee vragen stellen?
    - Dat was er al één,
    * Mag ik je dan drie vragen stellen?
    - Dat zijn er nu al twee, heb je er nog één over.
    * Mama, mag ik je vijf vragen stellen?

    'There have unfortunately also been people who have been less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, because I know I am not unique in this experience.'

    Rachel Los put ‘anti-acknowledgements’ in her PhD Thesis and they are 🔥

      ‘A no thank you to the person who assumed I was the coffee lady’
      Dr Rachel Los recently did something completely new. Apart from the required acknowledgements, she added ‘anti-acknowledgements’ to her TU Delft PhD thesis. These were aimed at everyone who had made it clear to her, implicitly or explicitly, that there was no space for her as a woman in the sciences. ‘We have to deal with this undermining’ she writes in this letter.

    "And finally, no thank you to the executive board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted."

    Ik vertelde op bootcamp dat mijn zoon niet wist wie Freek de Jonge was. Eén van die (jonge) vrouwen: ‘Wie is Freek de Jonge?’

    De babbelbox vraagt zich af: weet u nog wie Freek de Jonge is?

    Restaurant-tip: deze week werd ik meegenomen naar het experimentele plantaardige restaurant van De Sering (bij Amsterdam Sloterdijk). Extreem lekker eten en je financiert de andere toffe activiteiten van De Sering.

    De hele week tegen de meest idiote systeemproblemen aanlopen om WOEDEND VAN TE WORDEN. Maar dan ook steeds collega's tegenkomen die ondanks alles proberen het beste ervan te maken en meevoelende en bemoedigende dingen zeggen. De universiteit is een vreemde plek.

    @julesh @christianp My partner paid of his student loans last week and it was such a big moment! (I paid of mine a while back, was fortunate to have to loan less) 🥳

    Amazing! The German translation 'Mathe fürs Leben' of our book 'Rekenen voor je leven' won the Jugendsachbuchpreis 2024 (in the categorie MINT) and our lovely agent Elaine Michon went to the award ceremony in Heilbronn on behalf of @edwardvandevendel, @flodego and me 🥰 (Update: I should also mention translator Sylke Hachmeister who did a wonderful job!)

    Ingekomen vraag van taalvriend:

    In het Nederlands scheid je hele getallen en decimale getallen in principe met een komma. Maar er zijn ingeburgerde uitzonderingen, zoals radiofrequenties: 100.7 FM, en alcoholpercentages: een 0.0-biertje. Ook wapenkalibers hebben vaak een punt: een .44 Smith & Wesson. Kennen jullie meer uitzonderingen?

    @amberfirefly My room mate at university was outsmarted all the time by mice. He would build the weirdest contraptions to catch them and the mice always managed to get the food from them and disappear. At one point I expected the mice to leave sardonic notes and requests for the kind of food they would like in the traps.
