1/ Al vanaf 1830 werden veeartsen uitgezonden naar het toenmalige Nederlands-Indië. Eerst werkten ze als paardenarts in het leger. Later bestreden ze ook besmettelijke veeziektes en deden ze onderzoek. In 1907 bestond daarvoor het Veeartsenijkundig Instituut op Java.

Lecture in Leiden this Friday!

Important topic in Dutch academia picked up DJA - and while we're at it, could we also talk about the almost complete lack of PhD funding for students who have their own ideas? www.dejongeakademie.nl/en/news/3224...

Tomorrow, the Flemish Young Academy are pleased to welcome the Young Academy of Sweden. Together, they will take a closer look at the freedom of science and art alongside broader tensions surrounding democracy, public institutions, and trust in expertise. More information here: bit.ly/4big1fx !

“For too long, a significant part of our past held beyond everyday reach of Indonesian society. Scholars discussed it, museums displayed it, global narrative was shaped around it, yet the Indonesian people could not see them at home. That era ends today.” -Fadli Zon 🏺

This is quite a story. Trying to trademark the word ‘sabzi’ is the equivalent of trying to trademark the word ‘food’. www.theguardian.com/food/comment...

I called my recipe book Sabzi – vegetables. But the name was trademarked. And my legal ordeal began
