I just found out that someone has been giving assignments to students to mimic numerically the whole “an album of fluid motion” from Milton van Dyke, awesome job from stein.stoter.gitlab.io, find more on album-of-cfm.com

Not only I learned a lot about the physics of ice friction teaching in UT's minor Sports Science & Technology, I also learned how much do the Dutch love this topic, specially these days. I talked with Kees Wesselink-Schram about this, and he wrote this nice piece! www.utwente.nl/en/stories/s...
Olympic questions: Why can you skate on ice? - Stories
Olympic speed skaters glide effortlessly over the ice. Figure skaters spin as if friction barely exists. Ice skating looks effortless, but for physicists, that is deeply strange. In fact, ice skating ...

That’s why I love this meeting: now @mariannebauer.bsky.social is now teaching us how to play scrabble… literally🤓 #softmatterNL #physics
@uddaloksen.bsky.social is the opening speaker of the 38th Dutch Soft Matter meeting Winter edition at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social #softmatter #physics
"His words are more relevant than ever" @LFLmagazine talking about Frank Zappa @frankzappa.bsky.social, I couldn't agree more. I often think about him when I see how things are turning out lately... 🫣
Watch the never-boring Pepijn Hoekstra explaining our work on #clogging from our labs! @utwente.bsky.social www.youtube.com/shorts/ZYHiE...

The dutch ministry of education wants to make the NL a safe harbour for fleeing american scientists, which would be great news, if at the same time the very same ministry wasn't planning a dramatic cut in funds for dutch science... what some call the #eppocalypse www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...
Nederland rolt rode loper uit voor wetenschappers die VS willen ontvluchten
Er komt zo snel mogelijk een pot geld om ‘enkele tientallen’ topwetenschappers die hun land willen ontvluchten onderdak en toekomst te geven in Nederland. Dat heeft minister Eppo Bruins van Onderwijs,...

Great opinion piece about *the plastic in our brains* from @megha.bsky.social in @sciam.bsky.social: "this stuff will never go away, and it's slowly building up inside us" ... a scary scientific discovery and an even scarier lack of social response www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...
Why Aren’t We Losing Our Minds over the Plastic in Our Brains?
New research on microplastics in brains reminds us that while scientists compile safety data, our leaders should still act

The passing of Andreas Acrivos is a big loss for our @apsphysics.bsky.social #apsdfd community, where we have had a prize with his name for almost 3 decades now. If you are curious about him, here's a nice conversation he recorded talking about his life and career youtu.be/I_9_3HF_ud4?...

Jurriaan Huskens perfectly captures what many of us are feeling, thinking and wondering after this awful process we are suffering at the University of Twente. Bravo Jurrian. www.utoday.nl/opinion/7520...
‘How will we regain trust in the organisation as a whole?’
In this op-ed piece, Professor Jurriaan Huskens questions the main reasons behind the current reorganisation at the Faculty of Science & Technology. ‘My opinion is that the reorganisation is used to c...

What a great plenary lecture from @elisabethbik.bsky.social ! #NWOphysics a lot to learn for any scientist, and most importantly, a lot to teach to our students about how to detect and how to avoid scientific fraud. Great job! 👏👏👏🔬🔬🔬
Elisabeth Bik@elisabethbik.bsky.social · 2y agoI will give an evening plenary lecture at the #NWOPhysics on Tuesday 21 January, in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. #Physics Also, check out the duplicates on the Speakers page :-) nwophysics.nl
Our Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics is now accessible for free! find out how to make a jellyfish smoothy 🪼, or how to cross a river without a bridge 🪵... thanks @annualreviews.bsky.social for make this volume open! www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...
Cool to see that the most recent entry of #Veritasium is on the strandbeesten of Theo Jansen! always inspiring to hear his story and his work. Here a pic of our own #strandbeest at @poftwente.bsky.social that we keep as a pet 🌊🦖

I have to confess to @apsphysics.bsky.social and specially to the #PhysicalReviewFluids crew that after the #APSDFD2024 I had a very bad bathing experience with their ducks... none of the PRF ducks can swim! only the PRX Life does! WTF! ... Get your ducks together guys...
So glad to hear that my favourite co-org Liesbeth Janssen has won the Athena Award in NL this year! Restless scientist and wonderful person… congrats to her dog *Bree* as well! 😍 (pic by Vincent van den Hoogen) www.tue.nl/en/news-and-...

Physics of Fluids @ UTwente@poftwente.bsky.social · 2y agoDevaraj van der Meer from @poftwente.bsky.social @utwente.bsky.social explores the impact of boiling liquids on solid surfaces. Condensing vapor can create pressures far exceeding those in water-air scenarios. Fascinating implications for industrial applications! 🌊 #FluidDynamics #Physics #APSDFD24
It has been a pleasure to work this year with the great Mathieu Souzy on this Annual Review on Clogging of noncohesive suspensions!, you can already check out an advanced preprint here (research.utwente.nl/en/publicati.... below you can find a teaser ;)
Specially nice to see a few #APSDFD 2024 attendees, see you guys in Salt Lake City!
