Interesting read

Currently absolutely having fun with the 60 students who follow exotoxicology at Universiteit Leiden Leiden Science CML Water Research Biodiversity Research Leiden University (CML)

Must-read perspective on newly developed nano-pesticides!

After 6 years of loyal services, my phone camera stabilisation module decided to give up. Lesson of the day: get a vibration dampener for your phone mount.

Are the university forms and websites specifically developed to discourage you? Or is it just me 🫠 Academic Chatter™ #AcademicTwitter

Brought a motorcycle lent by the garage and lil’one goes really seriously: “Papa 🙄; another bike again 🙄…” of course 2 seconds later he just wanted to sit and play on it.

lesson learnt. do not go out with a new, waxed front tire when it’s bucketing down and the pinlock is off, at night 🫠

Nice day in the office with Bregje Brinkmann and work of Lan Dupuis Work in progress on swimming behaviour of waterfleas exposed to nano-embedded chemicals Leiden Science European Research Council #ERC consolidation grant no 101002123 lnkd.in/eEKV6CDy

To PIs. Your legacy won’t be your pubs or awards, people will forget those. Even many Nobel prize winners are forgotten eventually. Your legacy will be the people you trained. Mentor, support and treat them with respect, so they can continue to be good leaders to future trainees.

Absolutely NEW insights in nanoplastics: Their biodistribution in chicken embryos was tracked using ICPMS on tissue lysates, paraffin histology, and vibratome sections analysed by ML algorithms. #nanoplastic Leiden Science CML Water Research Biodiversity Research Leiden University (CML) doi.org/10.1016/j.envi…

This is definitely a good read: models have been developed that allow to make predictions for acute nano-induced toxicology to untested species as well as for untested materials. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… European Research Council (ERC) Leiden Science #nanosafety
