It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.

Die Probleme rund um ein "Solidaritätsabkommen" zu Gaslieferungen mit 🇩🇪 und die moralinsauren Reaktionen darauf (vgl. 👇) sind ein Lehrstück zu den blinden Flecken der Schweizer Europadebatte. Ein kleiner 🧵

Dass #Solidarität nur heisst Luft ist, wenn Deutschland eine Gaskrise droht, war von Anfang an klar. Dies aber noch mit einem #Druckversuch betr. #Rahmenabkommen zu verknüpfen, ist schlicht #unakzeptabel !

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages
The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

Our paper on modernizing @neuronsimulator was published! doi.org/10.3389/fninf.2022.8… Thanks to all co-authors for this effort! This paper is really about what happens when a group of dedicated engineers & scientists come together and decide to build a community #neuroscience #RSE

A big thank you to @PASC_Conference organizers for an outstanding conference! The plenaries, the minisymposia, the posters, the encounters, all top notch! Looking forward to #PASC23 ! #PASC22

When you emphasize the social impact that technical work brings, this will diversify your audience (speaking about diversity in computer science studies)
