I am still quite overwhelmed by the last two weeks. So many new and interesting people including a lot of #scientists joined #Mastodon. I gained quite some new followers and I found more people to follow, as well. Therefore, I feel that I should re-#introduce myself.

In real life, I am a #physicist working on #CarbonNanostructure|s since more than 20 years and employing different methods, mainly #ESR and #ElectronicTransport. I lead my own research group, where the focus at the moment is on #Biosensing with #Graphene and #CarbonNanotubes as well as spin-polarized injection of charge carriers into CNTs.

Though my research is not about #ClimateChange, I joined #Scientists4Future from the very beginning (I got to sign the statement even before the legendary press conference). I contributed to the S4F Wissenszentrum but the focus of my activities is with my regional group at #Osnabrück. I like the #CreativeCommons approach of S4F and I try to get my labs to be as #OpenSource as possible (takes time and is not always straight forward). When I was looking at how I can integrate my engagement in my job – where in addition to regular physics students I get to educate future physics teachers – got into #BNE.

I am a #feminist, since I am 15 years old. The older I get, the more radical I feel about it. Of course, there is no #Feminism but #intersectional feminism. I serve as equal opportunity officer at our physics department and push #WomenInSTEM, every now and then also posting about it. Only a year after becoming a feminist, I started to work together with the local #Antifa group. Though never an active member myself, I was always sympathizing with them and hopefully I have been supportive as well since then. #NoNazis

My own arrival in the #Fediverse dates back about half a year. I found my way here via #Mastodon, just like so many newcomers. But thanks to always helpful #Fedizens , I quickly learned about other nice places in the federation and how convenient it is that everything is connected. My main platform remains to be Mastodon but I write longer texts using my #Friendica account, e.g., this one about the #IPCCAR6 report of WG1 friendica.opensocial.space/dis… . If you want to comment via Mastodon just copy the address into the search field. My posts on Mastodon are automatically deleted after 6 months, the ones on Friendica will remain. I share videos on #PeerTube. The plan was to share mainly #Poetry there, however at the moment I lack the time to make subtitles. So it might take some time until I share them elsewhere.

If there is something else you like to know, please feel free to ask not just in English but also in German, or in Dutch.
