Maybe with all that is going on in the states no one noticed, but in the Netherlands the university of Twente has fired 46 people from the chem department. One of them is Jeroen Cornelissen. A giant in the field #chemsky www.utoday.nl/news/75215/p...
Professor Jeroen Cornelissen: 'It could have been more humane'
Professor Jeroen Cornelissen was employed by the UT for no less than 16 years. Until last Monday. His entire department will disappear as of 1 June. His particular concern: what about the students and...
