As I can't really make sense out of this world at the moment, I thought I'd share this. (Made in the Netherlands, by the way :-))

Stormy weather around the beautiful Van Tienhoven mill on the ‘plateau’ of Southern Limburg today. They sell an impressive variety of flours, great if you bake your own bread (and live in the neighbourhood…). #bakingbread #windmill #craftsmanship #organic #flour #vantienhovenmolen

100.000 protesting against hypocrisy and for what the UN Charter was meant to be all about.
Wow. Meer dan 100.000 mensen trekken een rode lijn en zeggen nee tegen genocide en nee tegen Nederlandse medeplichtigheid. Dit moet stoppen. Kabinet neem maatregelen. Stop met de militaire samenwerking, stop de wapenleveranties en stop met de inkoop van Israëlische wapens.

Trots. Samen door nu❤️

#UKATconf25 was a wonderful conference, and nothing captured the spirit of creativity and dedication that was felt during these two days better than your moderation of the keynote talk show, @columfromcork.bsky.social ! Thanks so much for sharing your energy and enthusiasm so generously!
Still buzzing after #UKATconf25 in London

Kicking things off with the opening keynote was special — walking out to Beautiful Life by Ace of Base was everything

So many great sessions, but my takeaways:
* Belonging matters
* Purpose matters
* Culture makes the difference

A first for everything: crossing the Forth Bridge, instead of taking pictures of it from the other bridge.

Hidden gem - the great music by Jodymoon. Wonderful melodies and great lyrics. Guitar, harmonies, folk, rock with a hint of prog and jazz. Listen and share, this music deserves a much wider audience! New album out now!

Amazon tracks, times, and punishes workers while Jeff Bezos gets richer by the second. Workers are standing up against this exploitation—you can too. Sign the petition and demand dignity now! ✊ action.wemove.eu/sign/2024-12...
Hold Amazon accountable: Protect workers’ rights!
Jeff Bezos pockets over 100,000 euros every three minutes while Amazon forces workers into a surveillance nightmare—timing their every move and punishing the smallest breaks. Workers are fighting back...

A great new article in the @maastrichtu.bsky.social and @edlab-ctl.bsky.social magazine edUMinded on the use of writing skills acquired in university versus the use of AI. The student perspective seems underrepresented in the discourse on AI in HE. Helen’s reflection enriches that discourse.
🤖How does a recent graduate transition from using AI tools with caution at university to embracing them at work? Helen Frielingsdorf shares her experience of adapting to AI, particularly ChatGPT, in her professional life.

Dutch oven sourdough bread the way I like it: airy, but no potholes. #bread #sourdough #dutchoven

Sample of my bread baking adventures. Still learning, but enjoying it a lot. Nothing like the smell of a fresh bread baked at home.

I'll be blunt and let this be my first post here. Still honoured and proud!
What am I good at? What do I enjoy? Why did I choose this degree again? Thanks in part to Oscar van den Wijngaard UM helps students more and more to find answers to these questions. It’s one of many reasons why he was awarded the Wynand Wijnen Education Prize.
