Played “Maps of Misterra” (this one stayed interesting wayyyy longer than we thought, today’s game was chaotic and awesome) and “Isle of Skye” (a classic in our home, wonderful game that’s different each time and a rare one for five players - today the 18yo managed to beat me on what is usually […]

@quidcumque 😳 what did you do? And how can they beat each other up over math??

I just gave a presentation in my team about "What is a PhD and how to do it?" (4 current and 4 prospective PhD students) Could also have been called "Advice from an aging academic" 👵🏻

Es hat schon eine gewisse Absurdität. Wir sind exzellent, aber Grundfinanzierung gibt es nicht ausreichend, weswegen weitere einschneidende Sparmaßnahmen erfolgen. ExIni-Geld ist ja zweckgebunden. Und jeder Uni geht es so, aber alle nagen still hinter verschlossenen Türen an ihrem Hungertuch […]

I'm not sure which fact about neutrinos is more astounding:

A) That it's possible for a single #neutrino to travel through 5,000 km of Earth without ever interacting with an atom
