Kennt ihr wen in #bremen für Einzeltraining / personal training / coaching für alte Leute, um gezielt Muskeln aufzubauen? Ich sehe ab & zu Profile von Trainer*innen, die das anbieten, aber nie hier. Geht wirklich um alte Personen (80+), kognitiv fit genug zur Mitarbeit, richtiges, gezieltes […]

John Oliver hat 10 Minuten über #Bernd das #brot gemacht und erstaunliche charakterliche Übereinstimmungen festgestellt. 😂

Wer verstehen will, warum Jens Spahn bei Miosga den Trumpismus verharmlost & die Linke derart verteufelt, dem lege ich unsere @gabrielakeller.bsky.social Recherche zu Jens Spahns engen Verbindungen zu MAGA-Milliardären & trumpschen Stiftungen ans Herz - erklärt vieles: correctiv.org/aktuelles/ge...

Hey academics - if you have colleagues in the USA on a H1-B (or a J1 where the next step would be a H1-B): reach out! These are scary times, not just for people's work but also for their whole life (imagine suddenly having to leave the country you built a life in - or not being able to leave to […]

#Buckwheat #porridge. Because we all need comfort #food while sick - and because my grocery order will only arrive today si I don't have other breakfast in the house. For semolina porridge, I like adding fruit, but for buckwheat, it's just cinnamon - the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Ugh, third test speaks the truth, I guess? This is my third (!) time getting covid in (late) summer while travelling for work and before I could (!!!) get that year's shot... This never happens with stupid flu, I always manage to get the vaccination on time. (I know, different seasonality...)

Some fantastic suggestions in the replies to this cry for help regarding our #AppleGlut. I started with the marvellous suggestion 🙏of @vicgrinberg of a clafoutis like apple sharlotka. Absolutely delicious 😋 That's going in the family food canon. The next […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

It's kinda telling how twice on this trip I overheard conversations of folks sitting next to me who were very quick and unprompted to day "we are Canadian" as if trying to prevent people to think them to be USian.

#curlygirlproblems Me: I'm super sick, stuck in a hotel room with a tiny shower, will not be seeing anyone for the next days and put my hair into a bun anyway because of how hot it is. How about we use normal shampoo & skip the conditioning routine just once? My hair: REVENGE.

In Science News: My postdoc, Luca Ighina, just published an analysis of a VERY FASCINATING high-redshift quasar. In short, not only is it radio-loud and ___the X-ray-brightest non-blazar at these redshifts___ it seems like it just might be super-Eddington! Press release here […]

I was SO looking forward to this conference - so many cool new results with XIPE and XRISM, seeing many collaborators, exchanging ideas, going home with new projects. The microquasar conferences with their looong lunch/afternoon breaks are perfect for that! And instead I'm stuck in a hotel with […]

Ich höre immer mal wieder, dass auch durchaus gebildete Menschen davon ausgehen, Journalist*innen beim öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk seien Beamt*innen. Nein. Sind wir nicht. Niemand von uns. Manche haben recht sichere Verträge, manche haben sehr unsichere Verträge. Aber keine*r von uns ist […]

342 years ago, on the 17th of September 1683, Dutch scientist Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek wrote about his observation of microbes to the Royal Society, which is the first known observation of bacteria in history. Van Leeuwenhoek referred to them as 'diertjes' (Dutch for 'small animals'). #otd #history 🗃️

Landschaft wird unsichtbar, wenn man in ihr drin wohnt. Aber fehlende Infrastruktur wird nie unsichtbar, man spürt sie jeden Tag, bei jedem Einkauf, bei jedem Gesundheitsproblem. Trotzdem träumen alle vom Wohnen in Landschaft und wenige vom Wohnen in Infrastruktur.

„AfD legt zu, Grüne verlieren" Heißt es in den Medien. Die Journalisten fragen Grüne, ob sie jetzt auch mehr Abschiebungen fordern werden. Aber auch richtig ist: „AfD verliert im Vergleich zur BTW, Grüne zweitbestes Ergebnis in NRW“ Framing in den Medien macht den Rechtsruck.

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today. https://www.them.us/story/london-trans-pride-march-turnout-record-uk-transphobia

Clam gardens have been used by Pacific Northwest native tribes for thousands of years. They build rock walls to trap sediment, at the right height to be immersed at high tide but also exposed for harvest at low tide. This encourages burrowing clams to settle in […] [Original post on scicomm.xyz]
