Hi, I'm Ron Aardening. I live in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and work as a Scholarly Communication and Publishing Officer at Maastricht University Library, serving both Maastricht University and Maastricht UMC+. I'm also the lead of Maastricht University Press.
I use this journal to collect and share interesting developments and stories that I don't have a direct application for, but might use in the future. I'll briefly review them here for my future self, and I hope you also get some value from my entries.
I also use this blog to pause, reflect, learn, and train myself (and my AI assistants) in mindful writing and proper English, as my first language is Dutch, actually Mestreechs. My current assistants are Perplexity (for research) and Grammarly (premium, for grammar).
If you are anything like me and are interested in the topics I write about, please stick around and engage by liking or replying to my posts.
If you like the vibe, please follow the RSS feed or subscribe to my newsletter.
Enjoy.
