When DIY-ing in our new home we found this fan relic when we closed the ventilation grille in one of the bedroom's windows. Of course we'll keep it!

Friday night news dump: Trump just opened a marine national monument to commercial fishing.

Environmentalists worry that fishing in the area could damage sensitive ecosystems and habitats for endangered whales and other species. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/c...

Almost 40 years after John Peel was utterly at loss with Frisian 🇳🇱 band It Dockumer Lokaeltsje and therefore played their entire album (!), the band is still its unique self. Excellent 1st show as part of their final tour @dbsutrecht.bsky.social . Check out the new album Loop of Sloop!

Research by our team member @nathaliesteins.bsky.social (@wurmarine.bsky.social) explores a wide variety of ways in which #bycatch of endangered, threatened and protected (#ETP) species can be reduced in European #fisheries.

A man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional".

Ladies, it was a breakthrough.

I should have done this years ago.

"Have the reforms of the EU Common @Fisheries Policy in 2002 and 2013 actually strengthened the legitimacy and effectiveness of EU fisheries governance?"

Very nice "Start of the New Year Walk" with my colleagues at Wageningen Marine Research @w-u-r.bsky.social. Past the fishing port of IJmuiden, the dunes and the beach. We even spotted some deer! Of course we finished with traditional Dutch pea soup.

Happy new year! / Gelukkig nieuw jaar! / Zalig nuuj joar!

Leuk verslag van een gave treinreis, David. Ga je ook met de trein terug? Veel plezier op Sicilië!

Very unusual to encounter a group of bagpipers in centre #Delft 🇳🇱. 😃

Our train was being pulled by a reindeer today. Nice touch.
Merry Christmas all!

Killer whales and dolphins… a dynamic duo? 👀

New research has found that Pacific white-sided dolphins & northern resident killer whales are working together to hunt salmon in British Columbia — the first time this behavior has ever been documented between the two species. https://bit.ly/4oWkdFx

The Tinerfeños certainly know how to honour #Christmas. Never seen so many nativity scenes in 4 days. In La Orotava there was even a dedicated route of 24 #Belén, incl one made of #Playmobil 🤩, one where Joseph held the baby Jesus 💪 and several miniatures telling the full nativity story. #Tenerife

Very nice hike from Cruz del Carmen to Punto de Hidalgo in the Anaga massif in #Tenerife. Started with a view of Teide vulcano and then descending from a laurel forest towards a wild coast. Beautiful, continuously changing flora and scenery.
