Silence before the storm : the 4th Eureka summer school is@about to start @onderwijsUMCU ScienceInTransition UtrechtSummerSchool

This is true flip- thinking Omdenken Pat Furlong UtrechtSummerSchool shows how she turned the greatest tragedy imaginable (loosing her both sons) into a world changing movement Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD). Humbled and honored to have her teach us

Very inspiring week @ the Eureka UtrechtSummerSchool on translational medicine with 37 students, 38 faculty from 20+ countries from all continents with inspiring teachers as Rich Foty Salmaan Sana @MiedemaF @RinzeBenedictus @marcvanmil and many many more.....

... with a common goal; to do research that will have true impact on patients life’s. Thanks to all students and faculty, especially @patfurlong of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), and many others such as Colby Benari We need each other to make a true difference.

A crucial step towards less bias and less waste: registered reports as an innovative way to publish based on the research question and not on the novelty of the results nature.com/articles/d4158…

It took Nobel prize winner Dan Shechtman 2 years to get his finding through peer-review and was labeled "Quasi scientist". This system must change! EurekaInstitute timeshighereducation.com/news/nobelist-… via Times Higher Education

This may ultimately help young researchers; some types of funding could be withheld unless universities provide better support for early- and mid-career staff — particularly women and trainees nature.com/articles/d4158… UU GSLS Prout

Almost too ashamed to post this, but this is actually happening (and we all know it). All due to a sick system that focuses on the wrong incentives (ScienceInTransition). So this is what PhD students (Prout) may be forced to do just to get their work published nature.com/articles/d4158…

Another argument for linking arts, medicine and humanities as we do in uu.nl/onderzoek/de-n… of Humanities Utrecht Geneeskunde Utrecht and HKU : How poetry can improve (your) science: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Important story not to miss from @ek_wilson - please read (and think) her 9 tips - all important for young (and older) academics. UU GSLS Prout @onderwijsUMCU

More news from the Nature graduate student survey: be aware starting PhD students: 25% said they would change their supervisor if they could start over again - sadly it is not even that surprising. Much, much more work to do UU GSLS @hvrijen Prout nature.com/articles/d4158…

Thank God, finally some positive news from Washington: US open access mandate projected as painful but needed timeshighereducation.com/news/us-open-a… via Times Higher Education #openscience Open Science ScienceInTransition

I guess whoever dreamed as a kid to become a scientist, never dreamed a about authorship orders. Let's do it the old way: settle authorship order with croquet matches as British ecologists Michael Hassell and Robert May did in 1973. timeshighereducation.com/features/what-… via Times Higher Education

Inspirerend lunch in UMC Utrecht met Jan Paternotte. Mooi om om een politicus te ontmoeten die oprecht betrokken is bij studenten, docenten en onderzoekers en zich echt verdiept in de uitdagingen in Hoger Onderwijs @onderwijsUMCU Landelijke Studentenvakbond WOinActie

I agree with @lucienengelen please listen to our colleagues in Bernhoven
