✨ Meet @issibern.ch at the exhibition of #EPSCDPS2025, discover their amazing science and space projects!

Come say hi, if you are at #EPSCDPS2025! 👋

It is the word of the town. ISSI is on tour again. If you are too, come say hi during this week’s #EPSC2025 here in Helsinki! – You know where to go, just follow the blue. @europlanetmedia.bsky.social @spacemarschall.net @kokotanekova.bsky.social @fabiocrameri.ch #EPSCDPS #EPSC-DPS2025

I wrote a piece for @egu.eu about academic evaluation and how the resulting incentives for academics are destructive. I think it can be done better. 🕸️ But only if you want it, too. 🫶 blogs.egu.eu/divisions/sm... #Academia #AcademicEvaluation #ScienceMetrics #ProAc

During the last 30 years, our telescopes improved and became more. We discover more of what lies beyond our sky. Exoplanets, planets outside our solar system, might host life or tell us more about our own planet. Here are 4999 of them perfectly to scale. 😮‍💨

Lovely paper out by Benjamin Hatchett about colour consistency in pyrocartography 🔥🗺️: doi.org/10.5194/gc-8... #UseBatlow

Such a great short course on different aspects of #DataViz at #EGU today! The room was absolutely packed — people were sitting on the floor (hey, @egu.eu maybe consider a bigger room next time?😉) And it's always a pleasure attending @fabiocrameri.ch's presentations! #endrainbow, yep.

Started creating some content for @egu.eu again. Really enjoy talking to academics and hear about their career and views. 👇

I am looking for some first-time attendees of the EGU General Assembly 2025 …to answer some easy questions in another ‚We Are EGU’ video (see youtube.com/playlist?lis...). If you know anyone interested, please DM me or send me an email with their contacts. Thank you!

Nice to hear, Andrew. 😇 ⚠️ Two points to clarify: 1) Turbo is NOT perceptually even (don’t know why people think it is – research.google/blog/turbo-a...) 2) Our preference for certain colours cannot trump the argument for scientific accuracy or inclusivity (Not sure why people think it does).

Great news! The scientific figure design cheat sheet that @fabiocrameri.ch and I created for @wearetektonika.bsky.social is now available in Español 🇪🇸and Deutsch 🇩🇪 Use it, share it, and make beautiful figures!

🐡

Do you make scientific figures? Then check out this handy little guide that @fabiocrameri.ch and I have put together for our editorial piece in the newest volume of @wearetektonika.bsky.social ✏️ The figure is available from @s-ink.org - download it, share it, use it!

@drlperezdiaz.bsky.social and I wrote a little mighty piece on how #geoscience visuals need to be different today than 60 years ago.

Don't use red and green data lines/surfaces in the same panel please #chemsky. It can be difficult for some colorblind readers to differentiate them. I've accepted (in principle) 2 papers today, and both sets of authors were asked to remove red/green colour contrasts www.nature.com/articles/d41...

❤️❤️❤️

I got the chance to present about accurate and accessible #scientific #colour use in a room full of physicists! Thanks, Santa Pile, Andreas Schell (see images), and @oepg_at for the invitation and organisation! 🫶📊

Beneath Earth's #crust, the #Moho lies, Data's hues for all eyes to prize. With perceptual uniformity, we chart it bright, For all colour vision, the depths ignite. Accurate & accessible global Moho depth map for you: s-ink.org/global-moho-... #dataviz 📊

Highly recommend these color maps. I’ve used them a few times (I use the ‘Davos’ colormaps for gravity wave spectra in agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....). Very simple to get via pip.

Scientific colour maps: yes! – But when and what not to do with them? doi.org/10.1002/cpz1... #Science #DataVisualisation #GraphicDesign #UseBatlow

#Greenland’s face unseen, the bedrock’s shape of land, Covered by a frozen sea, sculpted by nature's hand. Cool graphic by Guy Paxman and shared in various formats via s-ink.org/greenland-to... 🫶 #ScienceGraphics #Geoscience #Earth

What says more than one accurate & accessible science graphic? – Multiple ones! s-ink.org/series

When #continents decide to drift, It’s #geodynamic #rift! Simulating #tectonic plates that pull apart, @sasbrune.bsky.social and Derek Neuhard make it an art. 🌍✨👨‍💻👨‍💻 *Watch it play ➡ s-ink.org/continental-...

❔What is the most-used methodology in science? ❔What is the least-widely taught one? ❕One answer only: #ScientificGraphicDesign 📊. Here is me teaching it all the way up at UNISvalbard with Grace Shephard, s-ink.org & support of iEarth Norway. ❤️ #OneStepAtATime #Academia

The history of the #Universe belongs to everyone, don’t you think? Created at ISSI Bern (issibern.ch) and made #accessible via s-ink.org. 💫 s-ink.org/history-of-t...

If you need an uplifting start to #EGU24, come celebrate open science with me and @fabiocrameri.ch this afternoon, at session EOS4.7! See you there?

Let's celebrate the day by embracing the true essence of data visualisation: making it as confusing and inaccessible as possible! Rainbow color maps for everyone! 👉 s-ink.org/RainbowIsFor... #DataViz #SciArt #EduSky #EarthScience #AprilFools

Tinkering about where to drill next to learn more about the critical formation of subduction zones. What do you think? www.szidatabase.org/post/explori... #SZI #IODP #EarthSciences

What do you know about the #EarlyUniverse? We will know a lot more about it next week! 🤓 More details on: www.issibern.ch/issi-spotlig...

🌍 From the ever-shifting plates beneath our feet to the restless mantle underneath, it's a reminder that in the grand scheme of things, we're just fleeting observers on Earth’s magnificent journey. #Perspective The #DynamicEarth by Eivind Straume ▶ s-ink.org/dynamic-eart...

Did you now that at @ISSIBern, we are hosting international teams to work in interdisciplinary projects in a neutral and welcoming environment? This includes #EarthSciences using space data. Have a look! - You can apply now 👇 www.issibern.ch/call-for-pro...

Hi, I'm adding geoscientists to the Science🧪 feed! Reply here with links to your work (ORCID, Google Scholar, lab or department website, etc) and I will add you to the user list! Gneiss to meet you 🪨

It is that week of the year, when our inboxes fill with abstract calls for EGU... Come celebrate #openscience with @fabiocrameri.ch and me (abstracts submitted to our session do not count towards your abstract limit!) >> meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/sessio... 🫶✨

We love to share… 💝 💝 💝 💝 💝 …that’s all. 🎄 Happy Holidays you all from the s-ink.org team!🎄

Arctic sea ice drifts around twice as fast during the summer (Olason and Notz, 2014). Its drift speed correlates with ice thickness at high ice concentrations. But during the summer, ice also loses its roughness as thicker ice melts faster (color map is from @fabiocrameri.ch):

What‘s up Mars?! s-ink.org/mars-topogra...

And for metrics, I mean the complete idea of index and rankings is ridiculous to me. It's nothing but contributing the publish or perish culture. There are some good initiatives for alternatives, one is by @fabiocrameri.ch
