I just found out that someone has been giving assignments to students to mimic numerically the whole “an album of fluid motion” from Milton van Dyke, awesome job from stein.stoter.gitlab.io, find more on album-of-cfm.com

Not only I learned a lot about the physics of ice friction teaching in UT's minor Sports Science & Technology, I also learned how much do the Dutch love this topic, specially these days. I talked with Kees Wesselink-Schram about this, and he wrote this nice piece! www.utwente.nl/en/stories/s...

Olympic questions: Why can you skate on ice? - Stories
Olympic speed skaters glide effortlessly over the ice. Figure skaters spin as if friction barely exists. Ice skating looks effortless, but for physicists, that is deeply strange. In fact, ice skating ...

That’s why I love this meeting: now @mariannebauer.bsky.social is now teaching us how to play scrabble… literally🤓 #softmatterNL #physics

"His words are more relevant than ever" @LFLmagazine talking about Frank Zappa‪ @frankzappa.bsky.social, I couldn't agree more. I often think about him when I see how things are turning out lately... 🫣

The dutch ministry of education wants to make the NL a safe harbour for fleeing american scientists, which would be great news, if at the same time the very same ministry wasn't planning a dramatic cut in funds for dutch science... what some call the #eppocalypse www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

Nederland rolt rode loper uit voor wetenschappers die VS willen ontvluchten
Er komt zo snel mogelijk een pot geld om ‘enkele tientallen’ topwetenschappers die hun land willen ontvluchten onderdak en toekomst te geven in Nederland. Dat heeft minister Eppo Bruins van Onderwijs,...

Great opinion piece about *the plastic in our brains* from @megha.bsky.social in @sciam.bsky.social: "this stuff will never go away, and it's slowly building up inside us" ... a scary scientific discovery and an even scarier lack of social response www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-...

Why Aren’t We Losing Our Minds over the Plastic in Our Brains?
New research on microplastics in brains reminds us that while scientists compile safety data, our leaders should still act

The passing of Andreas Acrivos is a big loss for our @apsphysics.bsky.social #apsdfd community, where we have had a prize with his name for almost 3 decades now. If you are curious about him, here's a nice conversation he recorded talking about his life and career youtu.be/I_9_3HF_ud4?...

What a great plenary lecture from @elisabethbik.bsky.social ! #NWOphysics a lot to learn for any scientist, and most importantly, a lot to teach to our students about how to detect and how to avoid scientific fraud. Great job! 👏👏👏🔬🔬🔬

I have to confess to @apsphysics.bsky.social and specially to the #PhysicalReviewFluids crew that after the #APSDFD2024 I had a very bad bathing experience with their ducks... none of the PRF ducks can swim! only the PRX Life does! WTF! ... Get your ducks together guys...

And here you can see half of my 1-min flash presentation, see the other half tomorrow at the #APS-DFD interact session C6: #Drops & #Bubbles ... as you can see, alcohol messes everything up, but it also makes it more interesting 🤔
