My #introduction 👋
I'm a senior scientist at research center for pharmaceutical engineering (RCPE) in 🇦🇹. My background is #physics and more specific #fluiddynamics 🌊 💦 using #CFD and #theory. My PhD was focused on #thinfilms and #droplets and I created an open source package called swalbe.jl.

Habe heute einem gut 70jährigen ehemaligen Spitzenpolitiker zugehört, der fordert: Die Leute müssen früher aufstehen und mehr arbeiten. Und im Alter länger im Job bleiben. Strengt euch an für mehr Wirtschaftswachstum!
Und ich kann diesen Zynismus nicht mehr hören. (Thread)

I finally had some time, so I installed #BazziteOS on my gaming laptop, and so far, so good! As well as being able to play games, I can also compile code, and the power management is much better under Linux. Windows kept the fan speed rather high, which my wife joked about constantly. Next step D3 👹

So over the last half a year, a colleague generated results for a paper that we are writing. The colleague is a rather fresh PhD student and he did some amazing simulations. But as I learned myself having nice results is only 1/3 of a done paper. Currently sorting what will end up in the appendix 🤔

Meet the "Japanese snow fairy" (shima enaga), a subspecies of long-tailed tit native to Hokkaido.
It's no wonder Japanese anime characters look like they do, when actual Japanese wildlife looks like this:

This Sunday is the #GrazMarathon and I'm looking forward running 21,1 km. I'm a little bit afraid of the weather, although there is currently no rain predicted. Hoping to smash my PB from last year 🏃. Leason learned, overtake before it gets to narrow.

Once again, I'm angry with myself for not doing the things I enjoy, but instead having to write meaningless content to sell something. #Iamnotaconsultant

The likely reason why AI companies make such wild and unsubstantiated claims about AI capabilities rather than market them on the merits of what they can actually do is that there is probably no market that will pay enough for these services to recover the cost, let alone the investments.

Love the term sloptimist 🤣
Gonna call Sam and all other appropriate people a "sloptimist" from now on.

Wow, das hätte ich Salzburg nicht zugetraut, gut so! salzburg.orf.at/stories/3316... Hoffentlich nimmt sich Graz das als Vorbild um den Radweg um die Seifenfabrik wird wieder befahrbar zu machen.
Radwegebau: Enteignung als letzte Möglichkeit
Das Land Salzburg will jetzt erstmals einen Grundbesitzer enteignen, um eine Lücke bei einem Radweg zu schließen. Besteht ein starkes öffentliches Interesse, sind Enteignungen gesetzlich möglich – das...

Hope that this work week starts better than the last one. That said, almost everybody else is on vacation 🏝️ Best time to actually get stuff done ☕🤔.

I submitted slides for #EFDC2; let's see if I adapt them in the meantime. At plenty of conferences I have been to, people have edited their slides literally during their talk. I'm not saying it's good, but preparing the slides a month in advance seems excessive 🤨. #conference #submittedondeadline

Some #running stuff 🏃. Currently training for a new half marathon PB and until this week my watch only suggested base runs. This week threshold sessions are weaved in. Monday the first session was 17min @ tempo which turned out to be fine (for reference a little less 4.5km). Today 2x 20min 😵

Good news: Was asked to chair a session at the #EFDC2 🙂 Bad news: One project that needs to be wrapped up has gone somewhat nuclear 🤯
There are many things to do, but first let's finish the slides for my talk on August 26th in Dublin 😅

Sooooo true.
![4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with ponytail flanked by person with short hair and another person speaking into microphone at podium] PERSON 1: In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldn’t be reproduced. (2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today’s studies have become more robust. (3) PERSON 1: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did.

The #EFDC2 is approaching fast, a little over a month left until the conference starts in Dublin. To my surprise I got an email yesterday that I should send the organizers my sildes until August 1st. Hell, I know a lot of people who finish their talk in the session before their presentation 🙈

Back to literature review for #protein stuff. Found this in the abbreviations section after the acknowledgments in a paper: "MS masss pectrometry". I mean it is a typo and people make mistakes, but there were only seven abbreviations used and it is pretty hard not to autocorrect that one.
