"a philosophy I deeply believe in: team science. Gone are the days when individual researchers could do science by themselves. You always need a team, and you need a research software engineer in your team. I am convinced that their value goes way beyond their role as support staff. Actually, they are the key to success."

De tijd vervliegt tot niets.

Uit: ‘Plassen op schrikdraad’ van Simon van der Geest met tekeningen van Karst-Janneke Rogaar.

M'n zoon vroeg een keer (toen hij ~12 was) in welke tijd ik liever zou zijn opgegroeid, de mijne (jaren '80) of de zijne (de jaren '20). "Wat een leuke vraag!", zei ik. "De mijne. En jij?"

"Ik ook, denk ik", zei hij tot mijn verrassing. Waarop zijn oudere zus hem bijviel: "ik ook."

One of the things that we should know from years of education research and that is now very apparent with AI: you don't necessarily need "better explanations" to understand a concept. What you need instead is to struggle with it and develop your own mental model of it to internalise this concept. A good explanation can help you get started but it's not enough. On the contrary, if it looks too simple, it can prevent you from engaging with the complexity behind.

the possible risks of new scientific knowledge is not limited to natural sciences. Our knowledge about the human brain, our knowledge of society, very much too. Just think political ads.

Wtf heb ik daar #Kinderpostzegels voor verkocht?

Nee maar serieus wat een desastreuze verwarring.

"Verschillende Nederlandse organisaties zijn een campagne gestart waarin ze pleiten voor de invoering van #chatcontrole, waarbij techbedrijven verplicht zouden moeten worden om alle communicatie van hun gebruikers te controleren. ...

Introduction on this Mastodon server. I had an account already but the Akademienl server will be closed at the end of the year. Hence a new beginning on Surf

I work in a healthcare setting as a learning and training researcher. I use qualitative en mixed methods. More recent I became interested in methodological innovation and the rationale for this. Will focus on that topic on this account.

My native language is Dutch, toots are in English.

One of the maddening realities of our time, is that it has become virtually impossible to tell whether our leaders are failing to speak out against the #EndTimesFascism that captured the US state because of *strategic reasons* (because we still depend so deeply on the US) or because they simply don't consider it that dangerous.

I am afraid that people - watching their leaders - will mistake the former for the latter. And that this leads them to dangerously underestimate the danger they are in.

Toen ik een paar jaar geleden een diverse groep mensen naar hun interpretatie van termen als "informatie", "data", "content" vroeg, bleek die laatste vooral te staan voor shit, bijv. van influencers e.d.
