Nou, eigenlijk moeten we gewoon naar een vaste onderzoeksvoet voor alle onderzoekers met NWO als financier voor de grote, dure of anderszins bijzondere projecten. Ik reis even een jaar terug in de tijd naar de publicatie van #40stellingen met @IngridRobeyns en @rensbod. https://twitter.com/arnoudlagendijk/status/1416296359171342336
De goede uitspraak komt van Weckhuysen: "‘De honoreringskans bij @NWONieuws moet omhoog richting 25 à 30%", met veel beurzen voor veel wetenschappers. Juist GEEN topsport, maar honoreren van verwachte kwaliteit. Stop beurzen als prestige, status en aanvraagfabriek @WOinactie https://twitter.com/ScienceguideNL/status/1415936035083665409
