Meet our newest baby: our Raman-AFM was set up today. We can now perform #AFM and Raman spectroscopy at the same spot and also carry out TERS (tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy) analyses 😍.

Etwa 60 Prozent der Flüssiggaseinfuhren Europas kamen 2025 aus den USA. Der Berliner Energieexperte Raffaele Piria vom Thinktank Ecologic Institute fordert, den LNG-Import wirklich zu diversifizieren und die Energiewende schneller voranzutreiben. klimareporter.de/finanzen-wir...

Behold! A Fuck-Up-ibility index for food supplements. This index show probability that a manufacturer fucked up content.

where:
Cry - number of crystalline forms
Stereo - number of stereocenters
Am - number of amorphous forms
XRD - equal 1 if PXRD was used
char - other methods

Today, this cat is watching the Rosenmontag Parade in Kempen. I was already hit on the head with a net of potatoes, a net of onions and two bags of carrots, so you can tell my hometown is pretty rural 😁

OK... I'll have to drive 300 km in this today to get my daughter back from my parents. Fun, fun, fun 😬

Delicious Tie Ban Shao at our local Chinese Restaurant. They use fresh, local produce and I was delighted to find several Brussel sprouts among the veggies 🤤

You probably learned about George Washington Carver in high school. But you've probably never heard of Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner. She's the African American woman we can thank for inventing the sanitary belt in 1957 and revolutionizing women's lives across the entire globe. 1/4

Leute, können wir vielleicht zusammenlegen und dem FDP-Bundesvorstand eine Excel-Lizenz inkl. Schulung spendieren?
Aktuell scheinen sie ihre Diagramme nur noch von KI / LLM-Chatbots anfertigen zu lassen und das hat... nun ja, seine Schwächen 😄

"In October, the government classified the AMOC collapse as a national security risk. It amounts to a reckoning with national survival."
And a major #AMOC change would seriously impact the world at large, even the tropics - not just Iceland. 🌊

How a warming planet could turn Iceland into a glacier
The disruption of a current that carries heat north from the tropics would make much of the world hotter while turning Iceland into “one giant glacier.”

Today we celebrate all of our female group members for #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience. Women are still under-represented in research and innovation, so we must all work together to keep pushing for equal access and participation in STEM! 🔬🧪

It has been a fairly normal day. However, I managed to walk nearly 20,000 steps today, even though my main job is working at a desk and only little lab work... 🤔. No wonder I managed the 50 km walk last year with very little training 😅
#walking #hiking #DailySteps
Values from my smart watch for today: 1457 kcal burned, 19938 steps walked, 122 minutes in motion.

Mehr als 500 Privatjets verließen die Bay Area unmittelbar nach dem Ende des Super Bowls.

Falls mal wieder über Migration gesprochen wird, statt über Klimaschutz und soziale Ungleichheit: Enorme Ungleichheit & extremer Reichtum sind im Wesentlichen das Kernproblem.
