Dr. Victoria GrinbergWe are all stardust.
That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.
The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.
The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.

This is what the main parking lot of the financial district of Amsterdam looks like.
Here, the banks and the big law firms have their headquarters.
In the Netherlands, the higher the education and income levels, the more the bike is used.

Cycling home after a late appointment at the City Office. It's not hard to see why I love this, is it? #Utrecht 🚲✨️🥰
