Fantastic news that my colleague Amina Helmi, from Groningen Univ., won this year's #Kavli Preis in astrophysics! She did great stuff in identifying streams of stars coming from smaller galaxies that were devoured by our Milky Way. Congratulations!! https://www.kavliprize.org/prizes/astrophysics/2026

Jag tycker det är dags för #Kavli att byta namn på den här klassikern. Vad ska den heta istället?
