On my way to Hanover, where our last #PhDstudent from the Hannover team Ju Eun Yoo will defend her thesis tomorrow. Stay tuned! While Europe is facing a #heatwave, the beautiful scarf that @salehlabparis.bsky.social gave me for the inauguration is on board, in case the train AC is working. 😉

Sharing some #learnings from this summer‘s paragliding #safety training that apply to #science. Always try to keep the big picture in mind; know where you are and where you want to go. Even if things get out of control temporarily. 😉
