@astronomacamila @Lorelay_Fox I honestly fell asleep during the whole movie (I watched it in the flight back from Santiago). I am not ashamed to admit it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Do you find it normal that they charged me a 214€ cleaning fee saying they spent 5 hours cleaning my 34 sqm apartment when I had previously cleaned it before check out and my landlady was even impressed that it was so clean?😡😡 Is there any way to not pay this from my deposit?

[Gemma González-Torà @6em25]

Any tips for finding a flat in #Heidelberg? I am trying the typical wg-gesucht and immobilienscout24 but so far no luck 😭 all tips appreciated🙏

Tbt when I asked my US friend for some tips to avoid being robbed in Chicago... And she replied "don't worry about being robbed, you should worry about getting stabbed"😨😨 honestly glad I am back in Europe...

It's paper day! 🎉 Happy to share our new paper published in @AandA_journal letters about the first detection of intermediate-mass stripped stars at low metallicity, a missing link towards forming Be X-ray binaries and double neutron star mergers.

This comic about my burnout resonated with too many people.

(Guys I love you, take care of yourselves. Have cute little coffeebreaks where you go for a walk and look at a bird)

I used to think academia was my calling -- the thing that I was meant to do. But I am increasingly thinking that my calling is going to the beach and I am meant to relax and enjoy a fruity little beverage in the sunshine.

[Gemma González-Torà @6em25]

@ScouseAstro And what do you do with the free 5 minutes of time that you have after all this?? 😅😅😅 Wtf

[Gemma González-Torà @6em25]

@kaosteorin It happens 😂😂😂😂😂

[Gemma González-Torà @6em25]

@kaosteorin Once someone told me in eV and I couldn't follow the conversation anymore

[Gemma González-Torà @6em25]

@terepaneque Siii claro! Bienvenida de vuelta :)

[Gemma González-Torà @6em25]

This week I submitted my PhD thesis! One step closer to becoming a Dr. 🥳🥳 Not going to lie, it has been a lot of hard work with several mental breakdowns, but I finally made it! Now let's wait for the viva in a month. #PhDone #phdlife #phdchat #astronomy
