My brother got me a chemistry joke book for Christmas, and I'm sure you'd love to hear some, #chemchat. Some of them are good, some of them are bad, some are silly, a couple are a bit off-colour 🙃

Q: What professions make the best conductors?
A: The police: everyone knows copper is a good conductor

Our Open-source Hardware Infrastructure for The Netherlands (OSHNED) has been granted :)
This will strengthen and improve coordination among the hubs in the Netherlands (Wageningen, Eindhoven, Delft, VU, Radboud) with a single goal: making Open Hardware the standard in science.
