Thursday thought: meetingless Mondays should be a thing. Best way to start a work week for me: time for some focus and deep work with a fresh mind.

Some November flowers to brighten up this Tuesday

Trying to proofread using AI today, but it first suggests to change things...and when I accept the changes and check again, it suggests to change it back. Not convinced yet....

In case you missed it: the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH) published a report on future-proof & more inclusive academic management. A highlight: formalised and transparent appointment procedures are crucial for fair access to management positions www.lnvh.nl/a-4082/lnvh-... #womeninscience
LNVH published its new research report Managing Academia: Access, Professional Appreciation, and Institutional Influence in Dutch Academic Management Roles - LNVH

Thursday thought: Marketing has the '4 p's'. Communication in science is often limited to 4 other p's: Powerpoints (or other slides), Papers, Posters and Pints (or coffees). Alright, and may be an 'E' for Email. Still limited. Happy to be part of the movement that is pushing to move beyond this.

More apples from the garden...

The most special apple I have ever held. It was many years (probably ~9) in the making. Turns out it is possible to grow an apple tree from seed and get apples 😍.

Tijdens de A'dam Science Park Wetenschapsdag as. zaterdag kun je o.a. aansluiten bij een rondleiding naar de productiehal voor @km3net.bsky.social. In februari waren zij overal in het nieuws met de detectie van een neutrino met de hoogste energie ooit! wetenschapsdagamsterdamsciencepark.nl/nikhef/

Back at Nikhef Amsterdam after working in/from other places for a few weeks. Feels a bit like coming home (hope my plants are still alive 😬).

Impression of a workshop during the general meeting of the Einstein Telescope Organisation (ETO) this week. Look at these colleagues + friendly guests to keep us sharp, with their brains buzzing over an article for a (semi-internal) newsletter we are setting up. #einsteintelescope

Photos! This is the job assigned to me for today. Should be fun!

It was a good day, full of useful meetings and sessions. Now it's time to unwind. (Working on further building the #einsteintelescope Organisation (ETO) during our general meeting at Elba this week)

On board for several days of Einstein Telescope Organisation building. (It seems Elba is kind of the Italian equivalent of Terschelling) #einsteintelescope

Someone is trying to blend in.

Oh dear, may be I ordered some props for an upcoming workshop again...

Designing the future underground #EinsteinTelescope is a process of many stages and refinements. A taskforce has now worked on a new integrated baseline design. Read more: einsteintelescope.eu/news/towards... @einsteintelescope.bsky.social
Towards a new baseline design for the Einstein Telescope - Einstein Telescope
During the first half of 2025, a taskforce worked on a new integrated baseline design for the future Einstein Telescope.

Looking for a summer read and want to know more about the bunch I work with and am part of? Last March, the Einstein Telescope Organisation (or ETO) was featured in LIGO Magazine. Go to page 28 to find out more: www.aei.mpg.de/1243748/LIGO... #einsteintelescope

Last week at Nikhef's yearly gathering (Jamboree), I led a session on internal communication. As part of this, participants had a conversation about learning topics, and could either 'mail' (select) or trash topics. Putting results together now and looking at them. Feels like unwrapping gifts!
