To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Your American allies.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

This is crazy interesting: Super Nintendos are getting *faster* as the hardware ages. We spoke to the person who discovered this and has been collecting more data. They even put a SNES in the freezer to test a hypothesis

Had a great meeting with @wolfpackbark.bsky.social @julianavidal.bsky.social, and Cintia on our efforts on Green Chemistry with @beyondbenign.bsky.social. With all political news, it's encouraging to stay strong, dedicated and even more enthusiastic than ever for keeping going rather than giving up.

Von Adenauer bis Merkel haben konservative Kanzler sich stets in den Dienst Europas gestellt. Doch Friedrich Merz ist dabei, eine Mehrheit mit erklärten EU-Feinden – mit der in Teilen gesichert rechtsextremen AfD – zu bilden. Dieses Verhalten macht Europa kaputt.

Tell me you are in the Netherlands without telling me you are in the Netherlands.

A parking garage full of double-parked rental bikes (OV-fiets) for short term renting at Groningen central station. Very convenient to get around. During the day, most of the bikes were actually rented.

Musk-Scham / Tesla-Scham

Meanwhile in NL: Leasingverträge werden nicht verlängert und Unternehmen fragen sich, ob es noch vertretbar ist, einen Tesla anzubieten. Musk wird als "radical maniac" bezeichnet.

Die Macht liegt beim Verbraucher, nicht nur bei Tesla, auch bei X oder FB!

Wann bei uns?
Tesla-schaamte waart rond onder Nederlandse particulieren: 'Elon Musk is radicale maniak'
