I love to interconnect parts of my #makereducation #tudelft course. For the "learn about lasercutting" lesson they design little holders for the sensors they use in the "design an acoustic imaging algorithm" lesson.
My first lecture after pi-day was on “algorithms” so we calculated pi by sprinkling chocolate sprinkles on a pie!
I made a thing! Years ago bought an American pedestrian crossing traffic light that I can now remotely control from my desk so I can 'raise my hand' during online meetings.
Want to (present how you use) play? #EGU26 abstract deadline is coming up: Jan 15th 13:00 CET!
I love that on the day of the #AGU25 #MacGyver session in Hydrology (today! come to the poster hall!) this work by @drmikepj.bsky.social was published that he presented in a previous MacGyver session gi.copernicus.org/articles/14/...
Why night consumption of solar regulators matter for fieldwork!
Take a #physics teacher into -20 degrees Celcius and of course this needs to be done: throwing boiling water into frozen air :-).
Thanks Wouter @ucalgary.bsky.social for both inviting me and for filming this!
If you are at #AGU25 this week and want to come by one of the five (5!!!) #MacGyver sessions, have a look at
macgyver-sessions.github.io
for all the info.
In addition to duct tape innovation, collaboration is key to the MacGyver spirit, session organizers say. The ethos is less do-it-yourself and more do-it-together. 🧪 eos.org/articles/cel...
Welcome to the #Netherlands, where even saints take Public Transport.
Saint Nick spotted at #Delft train station.
Erg cool werk van groepsgenoot Nathalie Rombeek die laat zien dat gebruik van persoonlijke weerstations die mensen in hun tuin hebben kan helpen overstroming voorspellingen beter te maken. Ze was er gister mee op het RTL nieuws. Draadje van @tudelftwm.bsky.social geeft links naar interview en paper!
I don't think there was a big backlash, but it is interesting to dive into this...
Terecht spreken we niet langer over hoog- en laagopgeleid. Maar ook met de nieuwe benaming heeft columnist @rolfhut.bsky.social een probleem.

- Ir. Bob Kreiken over ethiek, internationale betrekkingen en data een belangrijke rol.
- Dr. René van de Velde over klimaat-adaptatie.
en ik mag de middag voorzitten en aan elkaar praten!
Op deze pagina meer informatie en een aanmeld-link! Tot de 18de!

🧵🛑
Sprekers zijn
- Prof. Marjolijn Haasnoot, hoogleraar Klimaatadaptatie in delta's en kustgebieden aan de Universiteit Utrecht.
- Prof. Sander Otte is hoogleraar atomaire quantumtechnologie vertelt over de rol van niet-klimaatwetenschappers in het klimaatdebat
🧵👇
Vier vooraanstaande wetenschappers delen de laatste kennis. Je krijgt handvatten om:
- Feiten en meningen in het debat te onderscheiden
- Wetenschappelijke kennis toegankelijk te maken voor leerlingen
- Het gesprek over klimaat op wetenschappelijke basis te voeren in de klas
🧵👇
Hoe behandel je #klimaatverandering in je middelbare schoolklas? Het raakt aan wetenschap en onderzoek, maar kent ook economische en maatschappelijke aspecten. Echt vakoverstijgend dus.
Op 18 november organiseren we op de TU Delft een middag (16.00-20.00) voor middelbare school docenten! 🧵👇
great piece of #scicomm from @meteoschweiz.ch combines the 'dry facts' with impact translated to relatable characters. Stories are important, but we must make sure it is clear they are anekdotes from broader research to make clear it is not just 'this one story' we're communicating.
Doing demonstrations in front of the entire (120 students) class is a great way to show everyone how the skills we taught them can be applied to very diverse problems. Also: it is just plain fun: look at this cute balloon!
(which has a surface area of 880 cm2, we now know). 🧵🛑
and this wouldn't be a #Delft course if there wasn't some group that did anything bike related, such as this velocity measurement device. They video called into the room to demonstrate it. 🧵👇
This group thinking was: if we know how hard we throw a ball up in the air, we know how long it takes to come back down, we can use that as the basis of a clock: to measure time! Very satisfying to watch. 🧵👇
Others test the limits of the course to see how elaborate they can make a rather simple concept: by trying to keep this train exactly in position and knowing the voltage / speed relation of the train, this group can calculate the rotation of the big wheel the train sits on. 🧵👇
Some groups choose to make a very good / accurate version of an existing device, such as this tipping bucket rain gauge. 🧵👇
The assignment is to think up, design and build a device that can measure 'X of Y' where they get to pick X and Y themselves, for example these two groups measure 'wetness of soils' (using self made capacitive sensor) and 'strength of earth magnetic field' (self made Helmholtz coils) 🧵👇
Throwing a football through my lecture room @tudelfttnw.bsky.social. Final demonstrations of 2nd year course " #Design #Engingeering for #Physics Students 2" were a blast! Two hectic hours to test 28 measurement devices that students worked two months on designing and engineering. 🧵👇
Heb ooit in een zaal met wat experts, ambtenaren en bestuurders een computersimulatie mogen zien van wat er zou gebeuren als de ‘waterbom’ van Limburg 2021 op andere plekken in Nederland zou vallen.
Wit weggetrokken gezichten. Actie- en adaptie-agenda versneld.
Is dit radicaal-links @nieuws.nos.nl??
- de stad vooral betaalbaarder maken
- door de huren te bevriezen
- kinderopvang en busvervoer gratis te maken.
- Een gemeentelijke supermarkt met lage prijzen.
- Ook wil hij de belastingen voor rijken flink verhogen.
Wat gebeurt daar op de redactie?
We are looking for 2 PhDs in our @dfg.de #HydroSIGNs project with @sub-heterogenty.bsky.social to study resilience of hydrological systems to #global change. Interested in merging large-sample analysis and field work to study these beautiful springs and the streams they feed? Apply via links below ⬇️
