Went for a long run on Sunday. Accidentally turned into a longer one (21.1km, maybe inspired by LDN marathon).
Went to a park I hadn't been to yet this year, it's my favourite for long runs in summer because of the dense trees in the woods. One shot of the canopy, inspired by someone who posts here, but not as bien as theirs.
(that all 3 are different physical sizes and different resolutions is a boundary condition, not of my choosing.
That the dpi various significantly is perhaps a bit weird, but I'm used to it and my eyes are good.)
Monitor layouts?
I have my monitors at work:
2 monitors (3+2) side-by-side, with the laptop screen approximately under the join of the 2 screens.
Logically the 3 monitors are horizontally aligned with the laptop screen (1) on the far left (top-aligned) (see pic).
IT guy came today to fix something and was surprised by the layout (e.g. that laptop was not logically underneath). Am I a monster?
Wir können gar nicht genug kriegen von solch coolen Fotos!
Nach einer Wartungs- und Umbaupause ist unser Tokamak ASDEX Upgrade in Garching vor zwei Wochen wieder in Betrieb gegangen. Als Vorbereitung für die Wiederaufnahme der Plasmaexperimente musste das 32 m³ große Vakuumgefäß über mehrere Tage bei 150 °C ausgeheizt werden, um die erforderliche Güte des Vakuums zu erreichen. Das 360-Grad-Foto wurde kurz vor Schließung des Gefäßes aufgenommen.

Parkrun number 106 ✅
After helping to pace a friend to a speedy PB last week, today was officially pacing week.
A nice leisurely pace with some people following me
Followed by cooldown laps and coffee and cake at the café by the lake in the (intense) sun.
Then a long walk with some friends on my way home.
Now resting post-sun.
I gave a #seminar on the #ImposterSyndrome today and this is the key outcome. If you are feeling like a fraud, then you are definitely not alone. These feelings are actually a good sign, because they show that you are growing and learning and challenging yourself to do great research. Talking about it can help a lot!! 😊
UK, welcome back to Erasmus+ 🇪🇺🇬🇧
The EU and the United Kingdom sealed the deal to bring the UK back into Erasmus+ from 2027.
We are rebuilding opportunities for the next generation to study, work and grow together, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.
It will also help create and deepen partnerships between our academic institutions.
Together again through learning, exchange and connection 🤝
