Dear Physicists and Physics fans,
I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.
Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩🔬

Looking forward to this spooky Seminar organised and hosted by postdocs of the MPI-Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden tomorrow.
I arrived a few hours ago, just in time to witness the rehearsal for the Tim Burton-esque musical show.

From standing stones, menhirs, to the nuragic civilisation with so many surprising facets (sophisticatedly constructed towers, sacred wells, large stone figures, intricate bronze figurines): Sardinia is a great place to discover prehistory.

A post-ESITO treat: found this golden pendant in the shape of a chrysalis in the archeological museum of Cagliari, Sardinia. 7th cent BC. Phoenicians liked to decorate themselves with butterfly pupae! 🧪🦋

We had a great European Symposium for Insect Taste and Olfaction, ESITO, on Sardinia where I was invited to talk about evolutionary aspects. This was how spiders entered an insect meeting 😉.🕷🧪

So true.
Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

So many great talks at the DZG including this plenary talk by Silke Sachse on insect olfaction.👍🧪
@silkesachse.bsky.social ’s plenary talk @dzg2025berlin.bsky.social on the neural basis of insect olfaction. 👀👀 👏🏻 also another neuro talk. Just sayin’ 💅 @dzg-neurobiology.bsky.social

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us.

A fact and food for thought: "Google enjoys an immense amount of power in the scholarly community, and Google Scholar has a gatekeeping role, having "leveraged its system of citation counting into a tool that coordinates the scholarly economy"."
Despite its power, does Scholar get the axe within 5y?

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared
Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

I've had a few conversations about people still not enjoying #BlueSky as much as some traditional social media platforms. One tip I have is pin the OnlyPosts feed: you will then see posts from folks you follow, chronologically, with nothing else.

If you are ever close to Tübingen, a great experience is the "Ammonite Pavement" in Ofterdingen. They are huge!
