In particular, in case a new funding source for the maintenance of the primate facility at BPRC can not be found, it can directly jeopardize the development of effective and safe vaccines in future pandemics, as well as the advancement of novel neurotechnologies.
Keihard snijden in onderwijs schaadt onze kinderen én onze toekomst. De stapeling van bezuinigingen treft juist de meest kwetsbare kinderen. De afbraak van onderwijs moet stoppen! Die oproep doe ik samen met o.a. de @vngemeenten.bsky.social aan politiek Den Haag.
Thereby going against the explicit advice of all the relevant scientific and medical advisory boards, including the Ministry of Science and Education, the University Medical Centres, the medical section of the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences, and the recent recommendations from the Bijker committee.
Thank you @mlangelaar.bsky.social, for your dedicated work in leading this beautiful institute.
