Beter alternatief is Knowledge Commons (kcommons.bsky.social). Een nonprofit alternatief met een open access repository (works.hcommons.org) waarbij je eventueel ook een profiel kan aanmaken (hcommons.org/members/cktai/). Maar dat laatste hoeft dus niet. Je bestanden zijn zonder inlog te bereiken.

Andries Jonker mentioned before the game that neither her nor Beerensteyn could play the entire game, so he wanted to finish with Miedema. But when she was warming up France quickly scored three goals, so Jonker threw the towel and left Miedema on the bench. Was a really weird choice though.

They give a nuanced and comprehensive overview of the usual suspects, which means that it provides a very nice foundation from which you can depart into all kinds of directions without worrying about the basics.

@irmorus.bsky.social and Peter Bowler have a very nice and accessible chapter about the Scientific Revolution in their textbook Making Modern Science that explains the traditional narrative and then challenges the main assumptions of this narrative.

5. Showcase role models to give staff, students and even children a more inclusive image of academics.

6. Recognise and reward the skills and outlooks of first-gen academics. Shift the emphasis from self-promotion to other qualities, such as humility, perseverance and engagement with society.

3. Encourage mentoring for early-career academics. Mentors can provide information, create opportunities, and inspire mentees to take the next step in their career.

4. Support grassroots initiatives for first-generation academics, like staff-initiated mentoring programmes or first-gen funds.

They make six recommendations to help first-gen academics start their careers.

1. Make implicit rules explicit. Ensure that everyone has access to the same information.

2. Diversify university boards and assessment committees. Take advantage of the knowledge and experience of first-gen academics.
