~*~ We are made or stardust. But so is garbage. ~*~

Ich bin sehr froh, den stardust Racoon im letzten Augenblick noch im Buch untergebracht zu haben 🦝

In Waterloo, Ontario, you find a hotel restaurant called 'proof'. :-)

Bücher von extrem coolen Menschen kaufen macht noch ein bisschen mehr Spaß als sowieso schon. 🤍

(Erst recht, wenn man eigentlich damit rechnet es bestellen zu müssen und dann haben die es einfach schon da.)

Others find peace and calm in knitting, I find it in preparing slides for my astronomy lectures for curious non-physics students :-)

I'm quite pleased with my step-by-step spectroscopy slide, which starts with a "spectral glasses" photo and goes from there to a spectrum-as-diagram. 🧪🔭⚛️

Gedanken zu Wissenschaftskommunikation und (Wort-)Bildern aus meinem Buch:

Wir Physiker*innen verwenden gerne Vergleiche aus dem Alltag: ob nun die Raumzeit als eine dünne Folie (oder Katzenhängematte 😺) oder das sich ausdehnende Universum mit Galaxien drin […]

This should have been big news!

Ten funding agencies from eight European countries have pledged to support a public infrastructure that is poised to replace academic journals:
FWF 🇦🇹
RCN 🇳🇴
Forte 🇸🇪
ARIS 🇸🇮
SRC 🇸🇪
FCT 🇵🇹
CSIC 🇪🇸
DFG 🇩🇪
Formas 🇸🇪
ANR 🇫🇷
Only two of them issued press releases in […]

Hallo? Wie Mega ist das den bitte?

@Mastodon hat soeben stellvertretend für die Idee des #Fediverse den #grimmeonlineaward erhalten! ❤️

Euch und uns allen herzlichen Glückwunsch!!! 🍾

I just finished reading the great book by @timbl Tim Berners-Lee, 'This is for Everyone' -- describing the history of the web and how we can get back data sovereignty. Great insights, several honourable mentions of #mastodon and an explanation why his Solid […]

@FMarquardtGroup There is ongoing work to integrate ActivityPub within Solid: https://activitypods.org/

@activitypods can probably tell you more.
ActivityPods - Personal data spaces powered with ActivityPub
Brings together ActivityPub and Solid Pods and empowers developers to create truly decentralized applications.

I have a bazillion new German followers (hello!), and I'm getting interviewed for German public radio in an hour about "sunlight as a service", and I don't speak any German and I've never been to Germany.

The Fediverse is a truly magical place!

Today I learned that there are only three English cities with an electrical consumption greater than 200 megawatts: London, Manchester and Birmingham. By comparison, the people who want to build AI data centres here, which nobody asked for, want a supply of up to 1 gigawatt (1,000 megawatts) for […]

Congratulations to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for winning this year's #nobelprize in physics. Cooling a piece of metal (an electrical circuit) to the lowest temperatures, they made it behave in a bizarre way, where the entire circuit exhibits quantum effects.
Nowadays this […]

If we were to do a regular online Fediverse meeting —

(Maybe once a month.)

WHAT DAYS OF THE WEEK WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO ATTEND?

A regular (online) meeting for Fediverse developers, for those who care about the Fediverse as a social movement, and for those who care about the success of the […]

Scientific discovery relies on a cycle of observations, analysis, and coming up with new hypotheses. Can a computer mimic that cycle and explore an unknown system in this way?

We introduce #sciexplorer, which for the first time employs agentic behaviour in […]
