De wetenschapsredactie van @destandaard zoekt versterking! #vacature #wetenschapsjournalistiek jobs.mediahuis.be/job/324427/jou…
Lezen! “Wanneer stoppen we eens met die absurde obsessie met taal, die soms aan het pesterige grenst” @IveMarx over Engels, Nederlands en calimero standaard.be/cnt/dmf2023020…
Gezocht voor een artikel in De Standaard: getuigenissen van ouders die al van alles geprobeerd hebben om de nachten met hun jonge kroost rustiger te maken. Herkenbaar? Lees even mee 👇 standaard.be/cnt/dmf2022112…
🚨 BREAKING: "For all of these reasons, I have decided that the global #monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern."-@DrTedros
@DrTedros @WHO "In short, we have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little and which meets the criteria in the International Health Regulations", says @DrTedros on his decision to declare #monkeypox a PHEIC.
Het wordt heet komende week! We mogen ons ook zeker aan zwoele nachten verwachten. ‘s Nachts is het vooral in de stad lastig. Woont u in de stad en ziet u op tegen de warme nachten? Laat het ons weten 👇standaard.be/cnt/dmf2022071…
Really surprised by this decision on monkeypox! “While a few Members expressed differing views, the committee resolved by consensus to advise the WHO Director-General that at this stage the outbreak should be determined to not constitute a PHEIC.” who.int/news/item/25-0…
Morgen eerste schooldag - zo voelt het toch bij het inpakken van mijn rugzak. Na een pauze vlieg ik er weer in @destandaard (en ik heb er zin in!)
Zitten we nu voor altijd met corona opgezadeld? En blijven we dan ook golven hebben met beperkende maatregelen? Een schemaatje van vóór delta en omikron, nog steeds geldig (met @maxieeckert) standaard.be/cnt/dmf2021030…
