    Absoluut geen plannen om een opiniemaker te worden, maar als wetenschapper stel ik me in toenemende mate vragen bij wat Twitter wel/niet kan betekenen voor wetenschappelijke debatten en de maatschappelijke doorwerking ervan (1/n)

    Out now: review of @MicheleAcuto's "How to build a global city: recognizing the symbolic power of a global urban imagination" in the @theAAG Review of Books: bit.ly/3ZFkz7Y. Long story short: recommended reading, not just for those of us who are into 'global cities' /1

    Not the worst day, publication-wise! Out now in @tesg_journal: "Network analysis of urban systems: potential, challenges, and pitfalls" - a (self)critical appraisal of using graph theoretical methods as we try to make sense of cities.

    Zou ik nu écht de enige zijn die bij dergelijke uitwisselingen gêne voel en wou dat ik in een andere sector werkte? Waar gaat dit eigenlijk over? En wat is het nut van die passief-agressieve toon heen en weer?

    Beste professor, ik weet natuurlijk wel iets over uw leven want ik las wat u zelf beweerde, met name dat het leven voor u de/een kans is om er iets prachtigs van te maken. Ik vond niets uit, professor. Ik las gewoon wat u schreef.
