Dear InterPore colleagues,

Dear InterPore colleagues,

Exciting news in today’s Newsletter! Although it is unfortunate that InterPore2022 can’t go to
Qingdao, we did find a great alternative. Please find out more below.

Dear InterPore colleagues,

Who signed up for one of the InterPore Academy short courses? And if you didn’t, why not? Well, I
didn’t,
although I was really interested in Majid’s course on virus and colloid transport, as it relates to
a project I am working on. So why not? Well, lack of time, of course. (I admit, time is never the
problem, it is priority)

Dear InterPore colleagues,

I got involved in a strong discussion with a friend who in Dutch would be called a “wappie”
(translates to a combination of a conspiracy thinker and a nutter), although he would refuse to be
called a “wappie”. He is just “investigating everything”. Based on figures and so-called independent
numbers from the internet in general and social media in particular, he claims that COVID isn’t so
bad, all the measures against COVID are far too strong and that the vaccine is dangerous and
unnecessary. Hang on, numbers independent from what!?
