North Sea Jazz 2014
The marriage between hip hop and jazz is difficult. Robert Glasper is one of the experts trying to combine these two with great results. Enjoy this video. It’s over after tonight, the Nort Sea Jazz festival 2014 of which for me Robert Glasper was a highlight, together with Stevie Wonder.
Another highlight was the legendary Benny Golson, al ready 83 years old and still fabulous.
And last but not least another old man still up to the job Pharoah Sanders. Enjoyed his concert but also him leaving center stage when done with his solo or participation. The ultimate way to use older professionals to your benefit. Just let...

Cyber-Seniors, Connecting Generations
This is the trailer of a humorous and heartwarming documentary. This documentary shows the journey of a group of senior citizens as they discover the world of the Internet through the guidance of teenage mentors.
This charming film provides insight into the wonderful things that can happen when generation gaps are bridged and proves you are never too old to get ‘connected’.
Enjoy.

North Sea Jazz Tips
Ibrahim Maalouf “Surprises” en acoustique sur Mange Disques from Romain Dufrene on Vimeo.

Myocardial Infarction and World Cup Football
On twitter someone proposed the question: Could a football match in the World Cup series elicit myocardial infarction?
Je hoort weleens dat er na een stroomstoring meer geboortes zijn. Zijn er ook meer hartaanvallen tijdens belangrijke voetbalwedstrijden?

It can, a quick look at pubmed showed some interesting publications.
One from the BMJ. They showed that admissions for myocardial infarction increased on the day England was eliminated from the 1998 World Cup by Argentina in a penalty shoot-out and on the two subsequent days. Their conclusion was: Intense emotional react...

Florence Nightingale was also a statician
In this video about a new exhibition, the British Library pays homage to the important role data visualisation plays in the scientific process. In this Nature Video, curator Johanna Kieniewicz explores some beautiful examples of visualisations, past and present. One of the first in this video is a diagram made by Florence Nightingale in which she showed how poor sanitation cost more lives of soldiers then their wounds. Soldiers got preventable diseases especially in hospitals. With sanitary reforms there was a dramatic reduction of deaths during the war.It changed the world, it changed science.

Twelve Twitter Tips for Medical Education
I was intrigued by this title of a recent publication about twelve tips for using twitter in medical education.
We recently tested twitter as a way of interaction with medical students. Our number of students attending lectures have outgrown the number of places in one lecture room. Since years we us two lecture rooms, one with a video link so students can follow the lecture on screen. For this second lecture room but also for those attending the life lecture we introduced twitter as a way to pose questions. We introduced the twitter account at the start of the semester, via emails and at the lectures. We paused half way ...

Not bad! Your score is below average (you are in the bottom 30% of all scores). It would seem that, according to this scale, you probably don’t have a smartphone habit that is causing you problems in your day-to-day life.

A team of researchers in Germany conducted functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brains of 30 women. Half of the women had given birth within the previous three to six weeks, and the other half had never given birth. The brains of the women were imaged while they sniffed pajamas worn by newborn babies for the first two days of life. Both groups experienced increased dopaminergic responses, which are critical to the brain’s reward pathways. However, ...
