We consider the Imp Plan of #HorizonEU Mission of Climate-Neutral & Smart Cities. Things have already evolved since then, but hopefully our reflections are useful for those in that space @NetZeroCitiesEU @childp_child @RosalindeEU @GabrielMariya @TAOWhiteboard @energycities [2/3]

[Chris Foulds @ProfChrisFoulds]

Delighted to see our paper published in the new Journal of Climate City Policy & Economy, on 'Implementing Mission-oriented Experiments: Recommendations on Epistemic Inclusion for City Stakeholders Working in Climate Change Initiatives'

@RolandPierik @janmsmits Ja die discussie ken ik wel, maar bedoel eigenlijk vooral wat precies een "externe" hoogleraar is, als dat niet een bijzonder hoogleraar is. Uit mijn Nederlandse tijd kan ik mij eigenlijk geen enkele extern-gefinancierde reguliere HL herinneren. Maar kan aan vak liggen.

[Govert Valkenburg [email protected] @GovertSTS]

@RolandPierik Gaat dit over reguliere HL'en? Ik lees dit als betreffende bijzonder HL'en ("extern gefinancierde leerstoelen"), en die maken in mijn ervaring toch niet heel veel van de dienst uit? Verder eens met hoofdpunt dat leerstoel niet gekocht moet worden en dat interne doorstroom stokt.

Draadje.

Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

[Tim Stearns @StearnsLab]

And we keep science twitter going why, exactly?

@sarahderijcke Gecondoleerd, Sarah. Veel sterkte voor jou en je familie.

@ProfSteveFuller Well, the non-obvious point is that I think it is methodologically problematic to put demands on interviewees. People shouldn't be bad, but some people are, and that means you may have to interview bad people at times.

[Govert Valkenburg [email protected] @GovertSTS]

@ProfSteveFuller They should, but they don't. But students should be empowered by their supervisors and educational system to withstand unsolicited advice. If only because you otherwise risk that interviewees are selected on the basis of their courtesy.

And now it is Open Access! It took a while, but it is there.

It doesn't happen quite often that I find the time and space to write a piece that I only write for the reason that I want to write it. Yet, this one is exactly that. Happy reading :)

@SutcliffeEdward Congratulations!

@C_Neuhold1 @MNoel75 @wyatt_sally That is beautiful news. Congratulations, Sally!

@ClaudiaEgher @DaniShanley @RAJ_Borst With me it was actually the summary where I had the block. I could simply not confront what I had already written. Anyway, so far for the inspiring talk :) Have a ton of writing luck over Easter, all!

@McCaineNL Also wondering what those 3-5 reference letters would have to say. "Yes, this is a good chap, but please take him without paying, he's had enough already in my lab!"
