Eleven of the parties in the provincial parliament of Limburg have now requested the Limburg government to look into the possibility of creating a (temporary) memorial for our Black American liberators in cooperation with Eijsden-Margraten (where the cemetery is located).

I would like to move chemistry-related conversations to chemchat, seeing as how chem/sky is basically a promotion place now.
I would have liked that to have moderated, but it's bluntly clear that the publishing houses can't change their spots

Faculty are the primary stewards and enactors of the mission of research and teaching; knowledge creation and dissemination. The administration exists only in its capacity to forward that mission.

Someone asked for the whole chemistry prize coloring book instead of three separate books... so here you go (although, sizewise, the three small ones are easier to handle).

After almost all votes are counted, D66 and PVV have equal number of seats — D66 is still biggest party with ca 2,000 more votes.
VVD and CDA both lost a seat compared to the exit poll, while FvD and CU won one.
D66-GL/PvdA-VVD-CDA seems only option but would fall short of majority in Senate. 🇳🇱
