Voynich Manuskript: Frische Fährte in den Kaninchenbau

Ist das Voynich-Manuskript endlich gelöst, so wie das in den letzten Jahren immer mal wieder verkündet wurde? Wenn das so ist, weiß ich davon nichts. Was ich aber weiß, ist, dass der US-amerikanische Wissenschaftsautor Michael Greshko auf der Voynich Manuskript Day 2025 Conference einen Ansatz zur Entstehung des Textes vorgestellt hat, den ich für vielversprechend […]

Yesterday—and it really is hard to believe it was yesterday—I had the great fortune to cover the #Artemis 1 #NASA launch in person. One minute it was there, the next minute it was gone!

Here’s my story: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/nasas-artemis-i-mission-launches-new-era-of-lunar-exploration

Here is my #introduction (a few days late) w/hashtags: I'm a #journalist, #author and staff #writer w/National Geographic who covers #science, #climatechange and the #environment——mostly #forests and #prairies and #oceans and #deserts and the #Arctic an #Antarctica and #mountains and, well, anything not inside a human-built thing.

My favorite story (if I had to choose one): The time I traveled, in 2019, to Cape Horn w/a team of scientists to find the southernmost #tree on Earth.
