I had such a wonderful time at the Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing, where I taught a short course and interacted with faculty and students. I could also visit Zhongnan University of Economics and Law in Wuhan for a research seminar. Thanks for the warm hospitality!

It felt great and right to stand in the Malieveld with 20,000 people to say, loud and clear: Doe het niet! Don't do it! Stop the budget cuts to higher education.

On November 14, I'll be going to Utrecht to protest against the government’s plans on higher education. I'm calling on all my colleagues from the @unigroningen.bsky.social to join this protest and make our voices heard.

A week ago I gave my inaugural lecture "Growing older in good wealth and health". It was a fantastic day and I am still recovering from the emotional hangover (and also from a bad flu). Thanks to all who made the day special.

In 1953, aged 32, my grandfather died in a plane crash in Peru. Repatriating the body was something that the family could not afford, so he was buried there. This week, my dad went on a solo trip to Peru to visit his resting place. And 70 years later, he found it, in Ica.

Ready for the PhD defense of Jasmira Wiersma. I was very happy to read this interesting thesis on health and financial literacy, with two studies on Curaçao.
