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.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

This was such a great session. One of the excellent comments (by @jnobles.bsky.social) I was thinking about later was that events of stillbirth & neonatal mortality should also be thought of as health events happening to the *mothers*.

Happy to see that journals are making sharing preprints easier 👏
Here's an update on sociology (and some demography) journal editorial polices with regard to sharing preprints before submission and after acceptance. A big improvement from the last edition of this table. With one exception.
