As you may have noticed, we have not been very active on X lately. For various reasons we have decided to phase out our presence here & switch to LinkedIn.
So if you want to stay engaged with what's going on at our Faculty, please follow us there: linkedin.com/company/uva-fac…
What can you expect there?
- our latest science news
- stories about & from our research(ers)
- updates on important faculty-wide developments
- events for the broader scientific community & general audiences
- nice pictures of our great campus at the Amsterdam Science Park 😄
For technical reasons we are not able to connect with researchers from our faculty on LinkedIn using the company page. So if you have a post there that you believe may be interesting to spread on the faculty page, please mention us!
Onderzoekers van @IBED_UvA hebben gemeten op welke afstand van boerderijen stikstof neerslaat. Zo'n 10% slaat neer binnen een sttraal van 100 meter; de rest komt in de 'stikstofdeken'. Dit is in lijn met eerder onderzoek en de modellen van het RIVM. uva.nl/shared-content/facult…
Highlighted vacancy:
@UvA_Science (FNWI) is looking for a Full/Associate Professor in AI and Computational Technologies for Science.

Deadline: Sept. 27, 2023
A warm "welcome back" to all staff & students on this first day of the new academic year! We rolled out the traditional red carpet for you, and there's free barista coffee for everyone at the stand next to our main entrance :)
In case you missed this news last August, for sustainability reasons the UvA will stop offering disposable cups for coffee and tea as of today. We'll be giving away free reusable cups to students this week. Employees can read more on our intranet: medewerker.uva.nl/en/science…

Artikel van Gadi Rothenberg, hoogleraar @UvA_Science over de #energietransitie in @Chem2W van maart 2023.
This discovery grabbed quite a bit of headlines last week: a new type of star gives clues to the mysterious origin of magnetars. Great work by, amongst others, @Tomer_Shenar of @uva_apiuva.nl/en/shared-content/sub…
ALT Artist’s impression van HD 45166, de ster die een magnetar zou kunnen worden. HD 45166 maakt deel uit van een dubbelster. Op de achtergrond zien we een glimp van zijn begeleider: een normale blauwe ster waarvan is vastgesteld dat hij op veel grotere afstand om HD 45166 wentelt dan eerder is gemeld. (c) ESO/L. Calçada
This afternoon at #epshep23 in Hamburg, Jacome (Jay) Armas of @IoP_UvA@UvA_Amsterdam received the prestigeous EPS HEP outreach prize from @EuroPhysSoc for Science and Cocktails! Fantastic achievement, congratulations Jay! (And sorry for the poor picture)
In order to combat ever worsening environmental crises, modern-day chemists need to broaden their horizon and consider the effects of chemistry beyond the lab, argue Hannah Flerlage and @ChrisSlootweg in a recent comment in Nature Reviews Chemistry: uva.nl/en/shared-content/sub…
UvA spin-off company Plantics has enabled the development of a highly sustainable, 'no-waste' kitchen. Created by NoWa Kitchen, the cradle-to-cradle design uses a 100% plant-based polymer discovered by Gadi Rothenberg of @HimsUva : uva.nl/en/shared-content/sub…
Rothenberg and his colleague Albert Alberts were actually on a quest to develop a new biofuel when they stumbled upon a 'sticky mess' that turned out to be a 100% biobased plastic. In 2021 the first furniture created with their material saw the light: uva.nl/en/content/news/news/…
