Pretty nice to find a chocolate fountain in the foyer after finishing your conference talk!

It's really tough to present work at a conference when a) I have not been a part of this work (neither for measurements nor analysis nor paper writing), b) I'm still new to the whole cold atom quantum simulating business (joined in October last year), and c) we simulate solid state systems which I know even less about.
I was very glad that other team members were present to answer questions, but it still felt bad to say "I don't know" to every question...

"For decades, trying to compete with American institutions and companies has been difficult. The United States was a magnet for top researchers, scientists and academics. In general, budgets were bigger, pay was bigger, labs and equipment were bigger. So were ambitions."

What I'm up to this morning... #Research #PostdocLife
I recently got my first paper review request (from a proper publisher, but a rather low relevance / very specialized journal). I saw that the paper was not great, but I accepted anyways to gain some experience.
The paper is really horrible, I am sure that LLMs were involved in writing it, and it's 25 pages long :'D Why did I agree to this again?

Roadwork! Heute erstmals in diesem Jahr die größere bergab-bergwiederrauf Sommerrunde. Nicht länger, aber durchaus anstrengender als die flachen Winterrunden…

Kaffee in der Mittagssonne und danach dank ganz analoger Lektüre für die digitalen #Wortgeschichte|n sogar ein wenig #Balkonoffice - es könnte schlechter sein 😊
Arbeitsurlaub in Nottingham, UK 🇬🇧
Diese Woche bin ich zu Besuch im Institut meiner PI in der School of Geography in Nottingham. Da ich sonst räumlich getrennt von meinen PIs arbeite, ist es immer wieder schön die Möglichkeit zu haben ein paar Tage produktiv und intensiv gemeinsam zu arbeiten.
Gestern Nachmittag stand dennoch eine Touri-Entdeckungstour auf dem Programm: Nottingham hat mehr zu bieten als ich dachte! Neben Robin Hood und dem (vermeintlich) ältesten Pub Englands kann man über ein paar schöne Ecken in der Stadt stolpern, zB am alten Kanal oder Straßenzüge mit urigen alten Backsteinhäusern.
Was mir aber auch in Erinnerung bleiben wird ist der Uni-Campus. Meine PI hatte es mir schon angekündigt, und es ist wirklich der grünste Campus den ich je gesehen habe. Große & viele Grünflächen, kleine Teiche, und vor allem viele wirklich alte Bäume 🌳🌲🪵

#Samstagslektüre und die schwierige Frage: Neue Runde #Ernährung und #Ernährungsnarrative oder doch lieber erst den neuen #Boxroman? 🤔
#Schreibtischplaudereien: Nein, GoogleBooks, wenn ich in Quellen des 17. Jahrhunderts #exuliren suche, dann meine ich NICHT #exilieren und möchte auch nicht einfach ungefragt die Ergebnisse dafür angezeigt bekommen 🙄
Nächste Runde #Samstagslektüre, nächste Runde #Ernährung (stay tuned!), heute #KJL Edition. - Und bei euch so?
Wieder #Samstagslektüre, wieder #Ernährung, diesmal #Gegenwartsliteratur und in der Balkonsonne. 😊

#Samstagslektüre. - Und bei Euch so?
Interrupting my usual programming to say that I read my first ever graphic novel/memoir/anything! Thanks to @tenspeedpress for sending me This Beautiful Ridiculous City by Kay Sohini, which finally prompted me to engage with this genre.
As a former urban literary scholar this was a return to my urban literary roots, and just a beautiful representation of the city overall. Full disclosure that Kay and I were at Stony Brook University doing our Ph.D.s in different lit departments around the same time. We’ve worked together before (she invited me to present on an MLA panel on careers back when I was about a year into my new life in publishing).
Reading books by people you know (even tangentially) is always a unique experience because you’re seeing the world through the eyes of someone that you’ve met, engaged with. It’s just a really different experience than reading works by a stranger (which is the majority of my reading).
What is really stunning about this work is that it isn’t just a book, it’s a beautifully conceived object. The artwork and color palette are stunning. I immediately felt like I’ll definitely reread and return to this book to take in the visuals and the nuances of the story.
It’s also a book I could see leaving out on my coffee table, or some other flat surface that needs a little life. It’s so vibrant, and a book I could see myself just thumbing through casually to brighten my day.
It deals with serious life challenges, but I think the seriousness and introspection of the work is offset by the brightness and vibrancy of the artwork.
10/10 would recommend. (And believe it or not I read a TON and don’t recommend or post about a large percentage of what I read).
QOTD: have you read any graphic books?

What is disappearance? In short, it is a repressive tactic used by authoritarian states to terrorize the civilian population into submission.
While the term “the disappeared” emerges in the aftermath of authoritarianism in Guatemala (1966) and Operation Condor in South America (perhaps most famously General Pinochet and his reign of terror in Chilean, but also juntas across South America including in Argentina), it describes a tactic that has long been in use and continues to be used by authoritarian regimes across the world, so it’s a concept to be aware of and understand.
Disappearance is characterized by illegal abduction, secret detention centers, torture, death, and unofficial burial.
Disappearance was, in theory, a way to avoid responsibility. The state maintained plausible deniability while effectively terrorizing their citizens into submission. The message is clear, you could be next.
QOTD: Have you heard of disappearing?
