Conflict of interest statement

DS is as employee of Wageningen University & Research (WUR) fulfilling the role of one of the platform managers of Unlock (https://m-unlock.nl/). This is a open-shared research facility. In the editorial the facility is mentioned as example to be used for future research. The financial interest is that Unlock is searching for researcher to make use of these facilities which are subsidized by NWO (https://www.nwo.nl/) and WUR. The remaining author declares that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
