This year I am being both an organizer and an speaker of @pintofscienceAT in Innsbruck. I am really looking forward to my talk on Monday about my research on the drought stress of mountain trees 🌳 🏔

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.

Big congratulations Alice!! so well deserved, can't wait to see what you do next ✨🌳💚

Summer 2023 was the hottest summer in NASA’s record, continuing a trend of long-term warming caused by human activity.

All three summer months broke heat records: https://t.co/fAbXthgoP4

The Webb telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world over 8 times bigger than Earth. Webb’s data suggests the planet might be covered in ocean, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere: https://t.co/qN1SqCfFt1

Waaa! This workflow method by @MayaGosztyla is amazing! Thanks for putting this together. Super cool 🤘

[Dr. Kate Johnson @KatePlantPhys]

We won and I'm happy-crying from the other side of the world! My co-managers Olly and Anna represnted us so well.

So proud of our beautiful team

There’s just one Ring Nebula to rule them all. Now Webb has turned its eye on this popular target, revealing the complexity of its structure in unprecedented detail — and the possibility that the dying star at its center has a companion: https://t.co/wfcaLkQNAe

I have a ticket for the Paleo festival (Thursday pass). If you are interested, send a message! :) #paleo #paleofestival #tickets

Well, I rather have a cow than a king.

Smoke from wildland fires in Canada has now reached Europe.

@nasa’s Terra satellite captured this image of smoke drifting across the Atlantic Ocean and over Portugal and Spain on June 26, 2023. https://t.co/cwQSkmysyH

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Remembering chemistry laureate and pioneer in sustainability, John Goodenough, who passed away a few days ago at the age of 100.

Goodenough made crucial contributions to the development of lithium-ion batteries, which are used in mobile phones and electric cars.

Awesome fieldwork today on top of the Swiss Canopy Crane II, with @AliceGauthey

Saturn's moon Enceladus is emitting icy particles containing phosphorus – an essential element for life.

The discovery was made using data collected by @NASA’s Cassini spacecraft and is the first time the element has been found in an ocean beyond Earth. https://t.co/8X1UlmvrjF

[Paul Rincon @rincon_p]

Phosphorus has been detected on Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus. This means that all six of the elements considered essential for life (CHNOPS) have now been found there. The other five were detected several years ago https://t.co/GrOhnL005j
