"His words are more relevant than ever" @LFLmagazine talking about Frank Zappa @frankzappa.bsky.social, I couldn't agree more. I often think about him when I see how things are turning out lately... 🫣

The dutch ministry of education wants to make the NL a safe harbour for fleeing american scientists, which would be great news, if at the same time the very same ministry wasn't planning a dramatic cut in funds for dutch science... what some call the #eppocalypse

Nederland rolt rode loper uit voor wetenschappers die VS willen ontvluchten
Er komt zo snel mogelijk een pot geld om ‘enkele tientallen’ topwetenschappers die hun land willen ontvluchten onderdak en toekomst te geven in Nederland. Dat heeft minister Eppo Bruins van Onderwijs,...

Great opinion piece about *the plastic in our brains* from @megha.bsky.social in @sciam.bsky.social: "this stuff will never go away, and it's slowly building up inside us" ... a scary scientific discovery and an even scarier lack of social response

Why Aren’t We Losing Our Minds over the Plastic in Our Brains?
New research on microplastics in brains reminds us that while scientists compile safety data, our leaders should still act

The passing of Andreas Acrivos is a big loss for our @apsphysics.bsky.social #apsdfd community, where we have had a prize with his name for almost 3 decades now. If you are curious about him, here's a nice conversation he recorded talking about his life and career

What a great plenary lecture from @elisabethbik.bsky.social ! #NWOphysics a lot to learn for any scientist, and most importantly, a lot to teach to our students about how to detect and how to avoid scientific fraud. Great job! 👏👏👏🔬🔬🔬
I will give an evening plenary lecture at the #NWOPhysics
on Tuesday 21 January, in Veldhoven, the Netherlands.
#Physics
Also, check out the duplicates on the Speakers page :-)

I have to confess to @apsphysics.bsky.social and specially to the #PhysicalReviewFluids crew that after the #APSDFD2024 I had a very bad bathing experience with their ducks... none of the PRF ducks can swim! only the PRX Life does! WTF! ... Get your ducks together guys...
