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

For the young folks: nativities are something like Christian Warhammer.

I check the ticket. Overnight to Krakow. Sleeper, private compartment for two.

"Hurry up!" My fiancé leads the way.

"Wait, the train station is the other-"

"We're here."

It used to be an empty plot. Now it's full of small houses.

My fiancé grins and points to a sign: "Baba Yaga Travels"

Today's celebration: one of the South American early career researchers who attended the COSPAR capacity building workshop I taught at in Buenos Aires in December (actually one of the imho two best people there) got a postdoc at NASA 🥳

Actually, they got two different offers and even could choose... It's also great to see that the effort we put in mattered!

Findet die Frau! Gestern Spargelfahrt, heute Reformgipfel. Bei Spargel & Schnitzel sitzen fast alle, die über unsere Zukunft entscheiden: Söder, Linnemann, Klingbeil, Miersch, Arbeitgebervertreter, Gewerkschafter. Die Hälfte des Landes fehlt.

Auflösung: Hinten rechts. Das Foto ist kein Ausrutscher. Die Sherpa-Runde, die das Reformpaket der Koalition verhandelt: Sechs Männer. Auf dem Tisch: Rente, Pflege, ...
Worum es geht, trifft Frauen besonders. Die Hälfte des Landes gehört an den Tisch.

"Your use case is, there's a fourteen year old in an emergency room at 3 AM. English is their second or maybe fourth language. They have a battered school Chromebook or a hand-me-down Android device that was the cheapest thing on the market six years ago or a PS Vita their parents don't even realize has a web browser, and they're trying to educate themselves in the middle of the single most terrifying night they've ever experienced. Your site needs to work for that person at that moment."

Hallo liebe Fedis,
könnt ihr das bitte unterzeichnen?
Eine gut integrierte Familie soll abgeschoben werden, weil ihre selbständig geführte Pizzeria angeblich nicht sicher stellt, dass sie ihren Lebensunterhalt dauerhaft verdienen (was sie über Jahre getan hat). Sie wurden gezwungen, die Pizzeria zu schließen, anschließend wurde ein Arbeitsverbot erteilt. Und jetzt sollen sie abgeschoben werden. Einfach ekelhaft dieses Vorgehen! Bitte boosten 🙏

Kein Abschiebegrund! Familie Özgeyikci gehört zu uns – Bleiberecht jetzt!

All good news of a whole year in a single day or so 😅
