TU Delft maakt pijnbestrijding voor vrouwen wereldwijd simpeler en veel goedkoper, maar het demissionaire Kabinet heeft blijkbaar geen € 100.000,-- meer liggen voor drie cruciale stappen en dus loopt er nu een crowdfunding:

https://www.tudelft.nl/2025/tu-delft/tu-delft-maakt-pijnbestrijding-voor-vrouwen-wereldwijd-simpeler-en-goedkoper

Er is op dit moment nog maar € 1425,-- binnen!

🟥 9 December 2025, noon, Dam Square, Amsterdam: Higher Education strike.

We have a packed stage program, followed by a march through Amsterdam.

Stage program:

📢 Reality check
- Programs and students share how budget cuts are already hitting.
- Discussion: the right to demonstrate in higher education under pressure.

✊ Looking ahead
Organize the RUG, TU Delft secretariats, and Earth Sciences at VU explain:
- Why local organizing matters.
- What you can achieve together.

🟥 Political debate
- Politicians from D66, GroenLinks-PvdA, and SP take the stage.
- We challenge them to take a stand: how will they reverse the cuts?

Join us at December 9 at Dam Square!

Congratulations to Dr. Junhan Wen, for successfully defending her dissertation, titled

"From iMage to Market - Machine-Learning-Empowered Fruit Supply"

Junhan recently won the Open Science award for the Growing Strawberries Dataset that she assembled as part of her PhD.

Propositions

1. An effective multiple object tracking method for associating the observations must dynamically and adaptively combine motion and appearance features. (Chapter 3)
2. Image data alone is insufficient for internal quality estimation, but can augment other information to make predictions for individual fruits. (Chapter 4)
3. The color spectrum serves as a universal criterion for fruit maturity, offering a reliable and transferable method for evaluation by both humans and robots. (Chapter 5)
4. Training a model using the regret of its decisions leads to an appropriate level of conservatism. (Chapter 6)
5. A research project is like a Lego set: only a few bricks are visible, while a larger,
carefully arranged structure supports it.
6. Developing methods for treating a spherical cow is important; however, tailoring these for polygonal or real cows holds equal or greater significance.
7. If we need to categorize based on partial observation or estimation with uncertainty, we have to learn to accept the error.
8. PhD memes are the antidote to the impostor syndrome.
9. Cat propositions are neither opposable nor defendable, and thus not approvable.
10. In the journey of pursuing a PhD, one must have an addiction, among which sports is the healthiest option.

These propositions are regarded as opposable and defendable, and have been approved as such by the promotors Prof.dr. M. M. de Weerdt, and Dr. T. Abeel. — Propositions 1.

A pile of printed dissertations. Their cover is an illustration of a robot hand pointing at strawberries, some of them riper than others. Charts illustrate their ripeness.

Junhan presents her research on how to predict when an individual strawberry is ripe for harvest, and how to use that information to predict the size of future harvests.

About US research data under threat and how everyone can contribute to saving it - @lavaeolus and me were interviewed in the TU Delft paper Delta: https://delta.tudelft.nl/en/article/saving-academic-data-is-easier-than-you-think-and-you-can-do-it-too mostly regarding our parts in the Safeguarding Research and Culture initiative at https://safeguar.de

I'm very honoured to be among this year's NWO (Dutch Research Council) Veni research grant recipients, for my proposal "Finding Variables that Matter"!

I cannot quite believe it, but I'm excited to get started on the actual research.

Many congratulations to all of my colleagues who received their Veni grants. Over the last few months, I was lucky enough to get to know them and their research, and I can't wait to see what they do with the funds.

I'm grateful to Delft University of Technology and all my colleagues and trainers for their support and trust. The Veni application process was part of my life for almost a year. Could not have done it without their encouragement and wisdom. Many thanks also to NWO and all reviewers and committee members!
