My best birthday present comes this year from NWO: I’ve been awarded a #Rubicon grant! 🎁 From summer 2026, I’ll join @uantwerpen.be with my research project on early modern echo chambers and the dissemination of information through pamphlets in the Low Countries. Excited!

It's incredibly important to have a journal like Open Humanities Data. Had the pleasure working with @l-teixeiracosta.bsky.social to publish a dataset of 11k+ records from the first illustrated flora of the Netherlands (19th century)
👀 Look at that turnaround time: 1 month!

Another year, another reminder that CHR really is my favorite conference. Loved the high quality of research at #CHR2025, the conversations with colleagues from all over the world, and meeting so many kind, smart people. Already looking forward to reuniting in Manchester for the next edition! ✨
