finally found the right boxes where thin sections fit perfectly! a bit ££ but worth every penny π
In her State of the Union, Ursula von der Leyen chose silence on the alarming situation in Serbia. A silence that looks less like prudence and more like embarrassmentβbecause her party family, the EPP, still counts VuΔiΔβs SNS among its members. Is it complicity, indifference, or fear of discomfort?

Amidst all terrible news, I am sad that here it is not better. Today the VU Amsterdam announced they'll cut Earth Sciences, and fire 39 staff. 130 students are left to figure out how to finish, and an unknown number of PhDs lose their supervisors. My heart goes out to my colleagues π³π₯
VU University Amsterdam is going to be closing their Earth Sciences bachelor's program and some of the relevant research (some will go to Utrecht University or other departments) as the university shifts more towards "climate and earth". βοΈ

I was taught by the best people in their fields, including isotope geochemistry, geochronology, and tectonics. I will never forget the field trips to the Alps and Cyprus and our amazing expedition to Western Australia to hunt for 3Gy old stromatolites. πͺ¨π€
A very sad day for the Dutch Earth Science community⦠They've closed the entire Earth Sciences Department at @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. In this day and age, I can't understand how this fits into any Net-Zero strategy. I'll never forget my time at VU as a Master's student.
Students from Serbia have just announced that they are going to cycle to Strasbourg. This is their route.
Students from #Serbia (yes, those protesting for months now) just announced that they are going to cycle from Novi Sad toβStrasbourg.
Why? To personally deliver news to European institutions of certain important developments in Serbia, since they have been sort of ignoring them.
Here's the route π
