I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

Exciting news for the Dutch uNMR-NL network of NMR facilities: a new grant from NWO will enable critical upgrades and updates to multiple of our NMR sites across the country. This is part of the so-called ROADMAP funding mechanism for high-end instrumentation. #nmrchat #ssnmr

This week I was informed that my promotion to professor has been approved!! For various reasons (moving continents…) this step took a while. One aspect was the (unexpected to me) large emphasis on the numbers of supervised PhD students in the Dutch academic system.

Our work on the mechanoresponsiveness of actin is out! While plant microtubules have been extensively studied for their role in mechanobiology, actin has very much been ignored. Here we show that actin responds to cellular deformations within minutes and observed it in Marchantia and Arabidopsis!

Plant actin networks are rapid mechano-adaptive scaffolds https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.07.16.738884v1

The role of plant actin in mechanical responses available now on bioRxiv! Congratulations to @jasper-lamers.bsky.social, Anna Daamen @jorissprakel.bsky.social and to everyone involved! 🌱💻

MH17 was shot down twelve years ago today. 298 people were killed (including one I knew). I will be thinking of them today, and of their families and friends, and of all the countless others who have since died in Ukraine. www.bbc.com/news/world-2...

Vandaag precies 12 jaar geleden: vlucht MH17, neergehaald door een Russische raket. Sterkte voor alle nabestaanden.

Is was our absolute pleasure to help organise the @eurobic18.bsky.social together with Sylvestre Bonnet @unileiden.bsky.social. Special thanks to @wesleybrowne.bsky.social and everyone from @stratinghinst.bsky.social @rug.nl who contributed to a very successful and stimulating week at #EuroBIC18!

Even before the official poster session begins, the posters are already drawing a crowd. A great start to the Welcome Reception at #EuroBIC18.

The exhibition area is open! Be sure to visit our sponsors and exhibitors throughout EuroBIC 18. From scientific publishing and research infrastructure to cutting-edge technologies and laboratory solutions, they’re an essential part of making this conference possible. @nfdi4chem.de @rsc.org

Tofersen is an approved antisense oligonucleotide for SOD1 mutated ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). ALS is a progressive disease where motor neurons die and this leads to progressive debilitation and death in affected individuals. A subset of ALS is caused by genetic mutations in various genes.

Is inderdaad wel even een dingetje zo'n brug die vervangen moet worden. Uitzonderlijk? Mweh. Sinds 2015(!!) ligt immers de brug tussen Groningen en Leer eruit. Just saying... www.nu.nl/binnenland/6...

Bijna jaar geen treinen tussen Alphen aan den Rijn en Bodegraven: 'Uitzonderlijk'

Het treinverkeer tussen Alphen aan den Rijn en Bodegraven ligt vanaf oktober negen maanden stil. Dat heeft te maken met de vervanging van de spoorbrug over de rivier de Gouwe.
