Personally, the week in Munich at the #SnakemakeHackathon2026 was really neat. I met friends and acquaintances, took the time to meet an old friend of mine not working in academia any more and the wonderful @FrankSonntag from our #FediScience association.

And now, tired, on my way back. Thanks to the railway service in Germany, I enjoy some boredom and the opportunity to do something else. Even reading a disc world novel (which is not "novel" any more) does not help.

Holy crap, you guys. Seriously?

Only EIGHT of us are supporting Fediscience.org?

Chip in, everybody.

P.S. Its governance is solid, it's all about scientists, and it is NOT BASED IN THE UNITED STATES.

Better late than never! 

I've just started using Mastodon and joined the excellent 🧪🧬 fediscience.org community.

I am looking forward to sharing my journey with all the Fedizens as a research student and enthusiast, as well as connect with the people from around the globe.
