The new FOM expres is released
This twenty-page FOM expres edition contains a mix of news, science, background information and opinions (mostly in Dutch).
Niek Lopes Cardozo, in his column, sheds his light on the realisation of the Vision on Science and describes the paradox between more control and the desire to blur the boundaries between disciplines. Frank Linde took leave as Nikhef's director and Stan Bentvelsen succeeded him: in a double interview they look both back and ahead. Cristiane Morais Smith, professor Solid State Physics at Utrecht University, got hooked on physics when she was thirteen. How did she end up in the Netherlands from Brazil? Lukas Kapitein, Andrea Fiore and Francesco Pagliano share their engaging scientific publications in the Science Column.
Also: many pictures from Physics@FOM Veldhoven, an IPP news page and a column by Marileen Dogterom on 'quality'. You can download this edition here www.fom.nl/fomexpres. For a free subscription: info@fom.nl
