Have you ever got lost in a multi-storey carpark? That's what just happened to me. Except this was a multi-storey🚲 park! It has 3 levels, multiple lanes and space for 12,500 bikes. The biggest bikeshed in the world. I ❤️ my hometown, #Utrecht 😊

It might be 17 (!!!) degrees outside but it's still stir-up Sunday. Time to make this year's Christmas cake and (most likely) next year's mincemeat ⛄🌲😁

Sinds vrijdag is er een Discord-kanaal voor iedereen die zich bezighoudt met wetenschapscommunicatie over taal. Kom rondhangen met gelijkgestemden en praat mee over hoe je een blog/boek/podcast begint, hoe je impact meet en veel meer! discord.gg/xC7RK5N2 #taal
