Urgent plea to Dutch higher education institutions: Cut ties with genocide and refuse police on campus!
To the executive boards of all Dutch institutions of higher education,

We, faculty, employees, researchers and alumni of various public universities, academies of applied sciences and research centres across the Netherlands, write this open letter to implore you

a) to recognise the ongoing genocide on the Palestinian people and fulfil the ethical obligation ensuing from it to cease ties with all complicit institutions, projects and corporations;

b) to commit to ending police violence on Dutch campuses.

Western leaders need to learn from Zelensky:
1. Don't allow Trump to get away with his persistent lies - call him out in public (Macron did so as well, though softly).
2. Don't accept unacceptable agreements.
3. learn how to manage without the unreliable & hostile US.

#PeerReview is where I feel most connected to science. It is not just supporting ideas, but analyzing them collaboratively. It’s meaningful work yet underappreciated.
Are there already methods to publish or evaluate it?
