Just in - glazed and baked: My own personal Delft Blue tile!
This is a great souvenir from the SynCell Global Summit Delft 2026, where every participant painted their own vision of a synthetic cell (which in my case is just about to divide, driven by entropically segregating DNA and CDV proteins).

Great fun jamming around with incredibly talented young bluegrass musicians. (check out that guitar solo at the end of this...`)
in fact, the diversity of future synthetic cells is quite interesting - cf the display of many different forms of synthetic cells painted by leading scientists in the field.
Playing my dobro in nightly jamsessions with all these musical friends at the Flying Caravan Bluegrass Festival in Belgium is great!
Mooi nieuws: er komt een zesde druk van ons boek ‘Alle verstand te boven - 22 wetenschappers over hun leven, werk en God ’!
Mooi dat hier veel belangstelling voor is.

Pretty cool to hold an actual copy of the French translation 'Le journal top secret de Théo' - a childrens book by Corien Oranje and me for whizkids who want to know about stars, dinosaurs, evolution - explaining how science & christian faith harmonize well.
