With funding from the Dutch NWO, we are looking for a postdoc with expertise in #DNP and/or #ssNMR experiments/hardware. One focus in the work will be to follow-up on our work on in-situ illuminated ssNMR for studying #photochemistry processes. #nmrchat werkenbij.rug.nl/vacature/pos...

After 3 broken trains, and 2h delay, I’m finally in Delft for the MicroNano conference. If you’re around, in the afternoon I’ll give a talk on “uncommon microfluidics” . Which, you know me, it is mostly 3D printing :)

Unless “didn’t do” here means “didn’t make functioning lab tests like she claimed”, I don’t think this is a problem Holmes will have.

Fundamentally, what we need is leadership. But we break with the chorus of most #OpenScience initiatives here and emphasize very strongly that this leadership must come from funders and institutions.
We researchers can support the battle, but we cannot lead the charge. Funders hold the cards.

More fundamentally, every active scientist has been brought up in a system where The Drain was already normalized.
This system hasn't always existed. For-profit publishers are a recent invention. Their value proposition has always been awful, and now they are actively eroding trust in science.
