@phi48 They're taking over!

Looks a bit like all of science is becoming applied computer science already...

How Nobel Prizes will be given in the future 😑

The Nobel doing its thing...

Urrrrrr...All major papers of Victor Ambros are shared with his wife Rosalind Lee....

Does the nobel committee just hate women called "Rosalind"???

@thijszonneveld Voor dat appen met vrienden heb je dan eigenlijk zo'n burner phone nodig, die ze in misdaadseries hebben. Kan de gewone uit.

Werner Kutsch starting off the ICOS science conference with a somewhat depressing reality check of war and lack of climate action, but also with some hope. #ICOS2024

@CasperHuls Én ermee dressuren hè? Hele competities.

CO2 emissions from the 2023 Canadian wildfires, new study led by Brendan Byrne (JPL)
- emissions are staggering, comparable with fossil fuel emissions from India
- the climatic conditions that led to this extreme fire season will be "normal" around 2050

Wat als je opblijft om de Perseïden te fotograferen (meteorenzwerm die vallende sterren oplevert) en onverwacht getrakteerd wordt op Noorderlicht…

Alle shots met vallende sterren samengevoegd tot 1 geheel zodat het radiant zichtbaar wordt.

@KoenDeT @thijszonneveld Ja, ze lijken toch altijd pas te gooien nadat ze geland zijn?

@thijszonneveld En speed climbing? ;)

*Cronch* I ran over a rock and found crystals inside!

It's pure sulfur. (And no, it doesn’t smell.) Elemental sulfur is something we’ve never seen before on Mars. We don't know much about these yellow crystals yet, but my team is excited to investigate. https://t.co/Am07DuXpPX

🚨 Collapse of the land carbon sink in 2023 🚨

As the CO2 growth rate reached a record high at Mauna Loa, we set up a low-latency analysis of the carbon budget and found that plants and soils absorbed almost no CO2 last year @gcarbonproject @gpbalsamo

We had something similar with polarisation measurements. Sensitive to particle shape, making observations hard to interpret. 4/4

[Remco de Kok @planetremco]

Looking at the #twohorses tweets (thanks @AdamLangeveld !), I'm again thinking hires sometimes suffers from the curse of high sensitivity. 1/

[Remco de Kok @planetremco]

And with hires cc it is hard to know whether you have a false negative signal. Injection tests can give a signal upper limit though 3/

[Remco de Kok @planetremco]

This is so great. Once a niche thing to do, now there's a whole conference on measuring exoplanet atmospheres at high spectral resolution.
