Hello everyone, I'm Jan Adriaenssens… director public technology at the research center imec in Belgium.

Professionally I'm looking at the constructive role technology could play in society.

But my interests are a lot broader… and that's why I'm on social media.

🗺 Cartography
📖 Language and words
📻 Design and architecture
📊 Datavisualisation
🚲 Mobility and cities
🌈 Diversity
🎛 Science and technology
🎯 Serendipity and wonder

(I plan to activate my weblog too, soon.)

@jbaert Thanks Jeroen. I’m actually happy to be here. Feels like a fresh and fast start of something new and good.

@verbeeld still early days. Will be amazing to watch this take shape and jump some hurdles!

@jbaert It's now about a week later... how do you look back on the hurdle jumping?

@verbeeld Still lots of work to be done, but I see people successfully migrate servers, that's amazing.

@jbaert Do you think we’ve passed a crucial point of migration? I went cold turkey on Twitter (posting; I still lurk), but there are specific accounts and interactions I still miss.

@verbeeld Think we're entering a hybrid period.
