A check-in moment🤝: Einstein Telescope Organisation and CERN met to align on shared objectives for ET. From vacuum and materials to manufacturing, civil engineering and safety, CERN’s engineering expertise supports key ET activities — and opens the door to powerful synergies✨.

Couldn't attend the #einsteintelescope collaboration's annual meeting, but I wasn't forgotten! A postcard arrived for me in the office. @einsteintelescope.bsky.social

Magical moment on the train this morning: at some point there were more people around me reading books than people looking at their phones. It lasted a lovely fifteen minutes. #forenzenleven

Missed the 7-year mark, so today I celebrate working at Nikhef and for the Einstein Telescope for 7.5 years! 🎉.

Apparently yesterday was EU Equal Pay Day. In NL it's supposed to be on 24 November(?). Thought exercise: what if all women started their end-of-year holidays right now...
Equal work should mean equal pay.
The gender pay gap is real, with women in the EU earning on average 12% less per hour than men.
Today's EU Equal Pay Day marks the date when working women in the EU, on average, stop earning for the year compared to men.

Thursday thought: meetingless Mondays should be a thing. Best way to start a work week for me: time for some focus and deep work with a fresh mind.

Trying to proofread using AI today, but it first suggests to change things...and when I accept the changes and check again, it suggests to change it back. Not convinced yet....

Thursday thought: Marketing has the '4 p's'. Communication in science is often limited to 4 other p's: Powerpoints (or other slides), Papers, Posters and Pints (or coffees). Alright, and may be an 'E' for Email. Still limited. Happy to be part of the movement that is pushing to move beyond this.

The most special apple I have ever held. It was many years (probably ~9) in the making. Turns out it is possible to grow an apple tree from seed and get apples 😍.

Back at Nikhef Amsterdam after working in/from other places for a few weeks. Feels a bit like coming home (hope my plants are still alive 😬).

Impression of a workshop during the general meeting of the Einstein Telescope Organisation (ETO) this week. Look at these colleagues + friendly guests to keep us sharp, with their brains buzzing over an article for a (semi-internal) newsletter we are setting up. #einsteintelescope

It was a good day, full of useful meetings and sessions. Now it's time to unwind. (Working on further building the #einsteintelescope Organisation (ETO) during our general meeting at Elba this week)

On board for several days of Einstein Telescope Organisation building. (It seems Elba is kind of the Italian equivalent of Terschelling) #einsteintelescope
