Dear SENSE member,
Normally we send you our monthly newsletter at the start of a new month. Due to technical difficulties this May edition comes a bit later. The sunny side is that we could add more content! Enjoy selecting information of your interest.
WIMEK and SENSE celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of their coordinators: Johan Feenstra. This iconic man has worked for 40 years at the Wageningen University & Research now and strongly advocated the creation and developments within the WIMEK and SENSE networks. We dare to say that without him, WIMEK and SENSE would not have been the successful schools that they are today. Johan contributed in particular to the interdisciplinary nature of the networks, and its impact in society. We owe Johan, and thank him for his endless ene rgy and his perseverance and congratulate him with this milestone. We are looking forward to the years ahead with Johan as WIMEK and SENSE coordinator.

| The expected roles within science |
| SENSE education coordinator Peter Vermeulen reflects on the expected roles within science. Among others, he acknowledges the need as SENSE to take an active role in increasing the diversity among staff and the willingness of SENSE PhD candidates to set things right in a positive critical tone. |
|
|
| Community of remote sensing scientists organise bi-weekly webinars |
| SENSECO is a community of remote sensing scientists. Recently, the bi-weekly seminars of PhD students have started and are available on YouTube. SENSECO welcomes new members. |
|
|
| “Groen Huiswerk” (Green Homework) platform |
| One of our SENSE PhD candidates is part of a small Dutch collective who build the "Groen Huiswerk" platform, to inform on the climate crisis and how you could make a difference. The platform provides tips on books, podcast, documentaries and articles. You’ll find a list with many movements and organizations and how you could help and guidance in how to organize something yourself. |
|
|
| Valuing Water at IHE |
| Valuing Water is this year's theme from the World Water Day (22 March). IHE Delft asked their partners and students how they value water. Read about this and other activities which were organized on this important day. |

SENSE - Upcoming SENSE courses and other courses in the SENSE field
This course is intended for those just embarking on genomics within an ecological setting and teaches the fundamentals of the discipline, while concentrating on ecological questions. The course focuses on four topics, each of which is treated by lectures, practical assignments, case studies and participant presentations. Also, participants are encouraged to apply the principles of the course to their own research. To introduce their own work participants are asked to bring and present a research poster.
