It was interesting to witness how the K2-18b case was received among astronomers. Clearly it was negative. With a possible sign for life you need to be very careful. Also funny to see that it's not always the media that blows things up, but also 'top' scientists and their university PR divisions.

K2-18b is the name of an exoplanet that got quite some media attention recently, due to 'evidence' of a so-called bio-signature. But not really: https://www.standaard.be/natuur-en-wetenschap/nieuw-teken-van-buitenaards-leven-gevonden-maar-is-het-wel-van-biologische-oorsprong/58211002.html #takeover

So it's my turn to #takeover the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social account this week. Based at Leiden Observatory, I'm diving into exoplanet research. The obvious question is: how unique is planet Earth? And if not so, where are these "planet B's", and how can we find them? Stay tuned for some insights.

📢 Tomorrow, #FRONTIERSfellow Senne Stackx is taking over our account for a week! 🌌Senne will be sharing insights from his residency at the Leiden Observatory, where he’s reporting on exoplanet research. Stay tuned! ✨ 👉 bsky.app/profile/ssta... #takeover #sciencejournalism #frontierscience

📝 Our third call for #FRONTIERSFellowships closed last week. 🌍 31 early-career journalists from 20 nationalities applied to develop their projects in 14 different countries. 🗓️ Results expected July 2025 — stay tuned! 🔗 frontiers.media/frontiers-sc... #sciencejournalism #frontierscience

📌 Applications for the 3rd round of the #FRONTIERSfellowships are now closed. Thanks to all the journalists who applied and to the researchers and comms officers who supported them. 📢 Fellows will be announced soon. 🗓️ Next call (open to all career levels) coming later this year!

⏳ One week left to apply for the #FRONTIERSFellowships! If you're finalizing your application and have a few final questions, our Info Days recordings might help: 📺 youtube.com/playlist?lis... #sciencejournalism #frontierscience #opencall

We’re thrilled to see our #FRONTIERSFellow Will Grimond kicking off his #FRONTIERSResidency at the Complexity Science Hub 🇦🇹 A journalist with a background in #DataJournalism, he will focus on fairness and bias in #AI. 👉 @willljg.bsky.social 👉 @csh.ac.at #ScienceJournalism #frontierscience

As a @frontiersmedia.bsky.social Fellow, I’m excited to explore a fascinating question at @istaresearch.bsky.social: How do living systems—from embryos to animal colonies—self-organize? At ISTA, I’ll engage with researchers studying this phenomenon from various angles. #FRONTIERSFellow

Kicking off the #FRONTIERStraining for fellows, in Oeiras 🇵🇹, with a session on Ethics in Journalism by our partners at CESJ (@cesj.bsky.social). (1/n) #FRONTIERSfellows #sciencejournalism #frontierscience @sdrecercaupf.bsky.social @ccsupf.bsky.social

I’m ending my #FRONTIERSTakeOver with a shot from a nice tapas dinner with other fellows in Lisbon. For the next two days we will gather here for a training workshop. If you’re interested in hearing more about my residency in Copenhagen and the #EHDS make sure to follow me @tomtj.es!

It’s a travel day for me but that doesn’t mean I can’t learn more about the datafication of healthcare. #FRONTIERSTakeOver

In a writing clinic, I gave researchers some advice this afternoon. What do you think of my expansion of the classic man-bites-dog example? #FRONTIERSTakeOver

On the second day of the #EHDS Forum workshop, I got introduced to a new academic format: Walk & Talk. My matching partner and I went to the nearby botanic garden and got inspiration from some older academics. #FRONTIERSTakeOver

I had the pleasure of hosting a panel today: “European Health Data Space – Why should we care?” There was a lot of skepticism in the room whether the #EHDS can become a success. If our health data can be put to use for public and economic benefit remains an open question. #FRONTIERSTakeOver

After four weeks in the #Arctic, I'm spending the next two months of my @frontiersmedia.bsky.social science journalism residency at @gfz.bsky.social in Potsdam. At GFZ, I'm embedded with the team of @lianegbenning.bsky.social who studies the secret lives and biogeochemistry of #glacier #microbes.

The inaugural workshop of the #EHDS Forum is taking place today and tomorrow here in Copenhagen. This very interdisciplinary group of scientists will follow the implementation of the European Health Data Space regulation over the coming years https://ehdsforum.eu/

Nordhavn in Copenhagen that has been developed as a 5-minute city. When apartment buildings, office buildings, hotels and other service functions mix, everything is within reach without a car. One building combines a grocery store, parking garage and rooftop gym. #weekendexplorer #FRONTIERSTakeOver

Enough of studying #renewableenergy from a desk. On the move across Spain, seeking solar & wind projects to see what I see.... @frontiersmedia.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu #BC3 #FRONTIERSfellowship #Spain #sciencejournalism #cleanenergy #biodiversity

My #FRONTIERS project is about the European Health Data Space. This new EU regulation will soon become law and today I recorded the first story about it. To hear what #EHDS is about, listen to Breitband on Dlf Kultur tomorrow (in German). Thanks to Danmarks Radio for offering their studio!

I was asked to give writing advice to scientists. I’d love to hear from you! #followerpower JOURNALISTS: What advice do you have? SCIENTISTS: What are your main issues with writing? #FRONTIERSTakeOver

Fascinating guest lecture by Benjamin Lipp (Technical University of Denmark) today about “smart pain technology”, that is supposed to help chronic pain patients. But he reminds us: “convenience requires attention.” The idea of “set it and forget it” often doesn’t manifest. #FRONTIERSTakeOver

Hi, I’m @tomtj.es! For next next few months I’ll work out of this former hospital building, and for the next few days I’ll post some impressions from the Centre for Medical Science and Technology Studies (MeST), the DataSpace research group, my work, and Danish life here on the #FRONTIERS feed.

🚀 Takeover Alert! Starting today, #FRONTIERSFellow Thomas Reintjes takes over our account for a week! Live from Denmark 🇩🇰, he’ll share insights from his residency at the Uni of Copenhagen, diving into the European Health Data Space and how anthropologists view data. Follow along! 👀 @tomtj.es

#RuairiTakeover I've had an incredible time here in Bilbao. I've focused on the innovative research being done at @cicbiogune.bsky.social over the last week. But in my final post, I wanted to also talk about the city itself.

#RuairiTakeover Back at @cicbiogune.bsky.social, this is the NMR platform, which drinks all the liquid nitrogen I saw yesterday.

#RuairiTakeover I was given a guided tour of the microscope facilities at the Basque Resource for Electron Microscopy (BREM) last month. Their showpiece is the behemoth Krios G4 cryo electron microscope. It looks like this: Let's open it up in a quick thread! 1/

#RuairiTakeover In my last day taking over this account, I wanted to share some snapshots from the last three months. I'll start with group leader Rosa Barrio holding up some food for the flies she studies. It's got yeast and polenta and sugar. I think you could sell it as a health shot.

#RuairiTakeover NMR requires powerful fields generated by superconducting magnets. These magnets are kept at ultralow temperatures by liquid nitrogen and helium. Platform manager Tammo showed me how he fills huge canisters full of liquid nitrogen - see below 👀

#RuairiTakeover Lurking in CIC bioGUNE's basement, the NMR platform houses bulky analysis machines that use powerful magnetic fields to reveal chemical and structural information about molecules (that's a very abridged explanation). Here's a quick video inside!
