I’m absurdly thrilled for the science team in mission control who are getting to answer real-time questions that the astronauts have. 🥹

I find the obsession with Global Mean XYZ meaningless. Societally irrelevant.
GMT was necessary when change wasn't as obvious, ie in the 1980s or 1990s.
Today, regional impact stats and collapse thresholds are societally relevant. Both, to inform policy and to inform the public.
1.5°C stays relevant as enshrined binding international law. And maybe for climate litigation; all countries' governments in Paris accepted damages from up to 1.5°C.
I imagine a parallel world where climate scientists KNOW that #ClimateChange is an accepted fact, and Copernicus doesn't title a "Warmest year on record", trapped in the forever-loop of trying to convince climate trolls.
But instead, Copernicus has the intellectual free space for societally relevant scoops: "Year where C-C shatters the most livelihoods in South America" or
"Year of largest harvest loss in both, East Europe and South Asia".

A masterclass in #SciCom from the #sendungmitdermaus archive this morning! I honestly think my 4 y.o. now knows how ion exchange resin in our washing machine works

Wenn man eine Spülmaschine hat, braucht man schmutziges Geschirr nicht von Hand spülen. Was im Inneren passiert, sieht man aber nicht. Armin hat eine Maschine, bei der man sehen kann, was beim Spülen passiert. Er erklärt, was mit dem Wasser passiert, wie das geschirr sauber und trocken wird. Am Ende spart man sogar Wasser im Vergleich zum Spülen von Hand.
Over the last half year, I created short form videos on #scicom and AI for the german broadcaster SWR. The show now goes into a short break between seasons:
