Honorable mentions:
* Vincent Icke with use of real 3D-flaps.
* Veronica Saz Ulibarrena with clear layout and honest conclusion 'this did not work as we thought'.
* Stefanie Brackenhoff for the use of emotions and more.

Chair Sven De Rijcke thanks everyone. And we thank Sven!

She hopes to answer the question whether those circumstellar disc can be a site for planet formation.

[#NAC2024 @_NAC2024]

Akke Corporal (@IvS_KULeuven) searched for circumstellar discs around evolves post-AGB binary systems. First paper: https://t.co/ig8Wx79byL

More in preparation.

Last week she and colleagues observated with the Matisse-instrument at the VLT. So, more to come!

Stefanie Fijma (@uva_api) tries to unravel why binaries with a black hole differ so much from binaries with a neutron star. Paper submitted to MNRAS. Preprint: https://t.co/TQ43Q0vFkl

Ronny Keppens (KU Leven) pledges voor SARIs in stead of MRI to battle magnetic accretion disks. Why? Check https://t.co/ygkOCS47nB

Ecaterina Leonova (@uva_api) found some Lyman alpha lines in the early universe. The results support the theory that the first ionized bubbles formed in overdense regions.

[#NAC2024 @_NAC2024]

Bharat Kumar Gehlot (@KapteynAstro) uses @LOFAR to search for the 21cm-line (hydrogen) in the very early universe. He compares it to finding a needle in a haystack. But after his presentation it more looks like finding a specific piece of hay in a haystack.

Nina Sartorio (@ResearchUGent) tries to model the cosmic down by using fictitional X-ray binaries. #NAC2022

[#NAC2024 @_NAC2024]

Henk Hoekstra (@UniLeiden) is looking forward to the launch of ESA's Euclid. "The data analysis is going to be complex, but we can cope with that. The only challenge now, is that we need a rocket" (since it was planned on a Russian Soyuz)

Koen Kuijken (@UniLeiden) compares the search for dark matter with looking through old glass. "We try to figure out the stucture of the old glass."

[#NAC2024 @_NAC2024]

By the end of 2022 they hope to publish the final results: KiDS-legacy.
