Quite the attention for the Teutonic Order’s former headquarters of the Alden Biesen bailiwick in Belgium, near Maastricht today, as the castle is the backdrop for an EU summit…

Very good news to see so many new additions to the NWO-funded replication studies! I hope it will be as insightful for the applicants as it was for me. I think every researcher should replicate someone else’s study once in their life.

Om te kijken of een onderzoeksresultaat echt klopt, moet je de studie nog een keer doen. Maar is dit inderdaad zo eenvoudig? Op deze vraag gaat onderzoeker Rombert Stapel in samen met collega-onderzoekers tijdens een avond over replicatieonderzoek.

Hoe betrouwbaar is wetenschap?
Om te kijken of een onderzoeksresultaat echt klopt, moet je de studie nog een keer doen, lees je vaak. Maar is dit inderdaad zo eenvoudig? Deze avond bespreken wij wat goede en betrouwbare wetenschap is, en welke rol replicatie hierin speelt.

Deze week kwam het pijnlijke nieuws dat de gemeente Moerdijk het oude dorp Moerdijk wil gaan opheffen. Een bittere pil voor de bewoners. Moerdijk, hieronder in de situatie van 1832, kent een bijzondere geschiedenis.

I've never really used LinkedIn, as it was always a very privacy-averse place, but they'll now also be hoovering up your personal data to train GenAI models (as per their new T&Cs). The fact that this is opt-out rather than opt-in speaks volumes.
A paragraph from the new T&C from Linkedin: 'Generative AI Model Training: We are now including these regions in the locations where we use and share member data and content to train generative AI models that create content. Starting on November 3, 2025, we’ll start to use some data from members in these regions to train these content-generating AI models that enhance your experience and better connect our members to opportunities. Our GenAI features can help hirers find and reach you more easily, and assist members in creating content such as profile updates, messages, and posts. This may include data like details from your profile, and public content you post on LinkedIn; it does not include your private messages.'

Heard at (very interesting session at) #IMC2025: “Flanders as an overlooked territory in historiography”. Funny to hear from a late medieval perspective 😉
