And just when you stopped expecting it ... the Nobel Prize for Chemistry goes to Metal-Organic Frameworks!

(Almost) everything you wanted to know about ZIF-8 crystallisation (the RT method). Now out in JACS, a collaborative study led by Ahmet Dok and Stijn Vancleuvenbergen.

Hoogleraar Luc Brunsveld denkt na over de plannen van de nieuwe regering om te bezuinigen op het hoger onderwijs. “Wellicht is een stap terug en een herbezinning juist heel gezond, zelfs noodzakelijk”, schrijft hij in zijn nieuwste column.

Pregnant mongooses in a colony all give birth on the same night, a phenomenon that makes it harder for mothers to know which pups are their own. But according to a 2021 study, this actually works in their favor. #ScienceMagArchives

And for my colleagues at the Applied Sciences South building, it's really close to our building. Let's see if you can actually find them! @ChemeTUDelft @TNW_BN

Seen at TU Delft Campus: the Bee Orchid („Bijenorchis“). The campus nature management to improve biodiversity is being successful ! 😊 @tudelft

So what do you do when you find a paper where the conclusions drawn from their experiments is nonsense. Where they use your previous work to justify their conclusions (while your work and actually that of many others shows the opposite)? Anyone?

How to study heat-activated processes with 10 ps time resolution. 👇 We applied it to heat-induced H-bond breaking in poly(urea-urethane). With Han Mertens, @EelkemaLab, Johannes Hunger & Benjamin Spitzbarth. https://t.co/HsopEvx3Pn .

I was invited to the 10th Slovenian, Serbian and Croatian symposium on zeolites and I got this 3D printed ZEOLITE bell to show for it. 😍🙏

Teacher training taught me that I shouldn't arrange desks in rows, so when I first started, I didn't. It was a nightmare. Moving them back was one of the simplest, most effective classroom management moves I did as a beginning teacher.

Deze week moest universiteitstijdschrift @tudelta van de TU Delft een stuk offline halen, nadat ze onder druk gezet werden door hun CvB. En stukken die niet gelezen mogen worden, publiceert PC maar al te graag: https://t.co/lodPgxI5Rn

This is why I missed Dap as columnist (his advice to the TU Delft executive board on social safety):

Dit is waarom ik Dap als columnist heb gemist.
