hi friends, any best practices with deep learning using netcdfs? Saving images as individual .nc files is very slow (5 minutes per epoch. ).

Do you have any questions about using #dvc / data version control? I finally figured out how to set it up in a university cluster setting + working on two servers. Writing a blog about it to document the process #mlops.

(and now with attachment :P).

as a bachelor's student, I was a tourguide at the old observatory in Leiden. It was the best student job ever. I never thought much about the skills it taught me, though. Being a tourguide helped me become a better speaker. Read it here

new blog: how you can save time on routine tasks by using templates.

I'm trying to be less harsh on myself when I make a mistake. So I'm turning my workshop organisation imperfections into opportunities for the next workshop. Learn with me here:

Some people remember mitochondria from highschool. I remember Latin class. This morning on the bike, my brain reminded me that I know how to chant the first line of the Aeneid in dactylic hexameter.

A bit more than a month ago I organised a workshop about a topic I'm passionate about: Machine Learning for Earth Observation. Organising this workshop was a really fun experience. Here (, I share 7 tips to make your workshops more satisfying and memorable.

Hands up if you're guilty of hoarding and devouring productivity content. 🙋‍♀️. I have good news for you, because my blog summarises the most important advice from all of the content I've consumed. The secret: sit and think before you act. Read it here.

I attended a really cool #SciComm talk by @joroislien . organised last week by @YALeiden : I learned a lot about science communication from the content but also from the structure of the talk. I share three of those tips on my blog, read it here:

Come and attend my talk at Pie & AI the Hague in October! I'm going to talk about cool techniques (= AutoML :D) to make deep learning more accessible to Earth Observation experts. sign up here for the free event:.

I was interviewed for a @vrij_nederland article about both sides of AI and climate, read it here: I think we talk a lot about the "dangers" of AI. let's celebrate all the wonderful work using AI to create positive, real-world impact.

any recommendations for books about storytelling techniques? can be any one of scientific/data/journalistic/fiction.

super proud to say that our work (@ada_research) on super-resolution for #EO was published today! read it here

Planning is like cleaning: do it shittily, but do it often.

Fellow PhD students, friendly reminder to sleep more. I thought I was rested, until I slept 8+ hours a night for a week and I can suddenly move much heavier weights at the gym again 😬.
