Congrats! Sensational image right at the beginning - catchy!!

I'm pumped about my first article in @spektrum.de! It's about Onkalo in Finland, the first permanent repository for highly radioactive nuclear waste currently being finished and how it is planned to be secured. www.spektrum.de/news/onkalo-...

For any kind of weirdly absurd fun facts on science: I can heartily recommend to follow @thomaszauner.bsky.social!

You don´t believe me?
Well, see below...

Meet our Journalists in Residence 2025!
Four independent science journalists from around the globe stay at the ISTA Campus for several months, unearthing stories about science and research that have never been told.
🧵A thread about them and their fields of expertise:

Die italienische "Ritterin" Ilaria Caiazzo, 36-jährige Astrophysik-Professorin am ISTA, fasziniert mit Entdeckungen auch Robert Czepel von Ö1. Ein Gespräch zu Philosophie, SciComm & Filmproduktion in den Dimensionen:

Welcome to our Bluesky Channel! Here you’ll hear of breakthroughs fresh from the labs of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Follow for news from scientific disciplines collaborating to tackle the big questions. For a start, we´ll tickle your curiosity with a tour through ISTA.

🔎 Fakten statt Mythen: ✔️ 99,5 % aller UVP-Projekte werden genehmigt. ✔️ Verzögerungen entstehen meist durch schlechte Planung – nicht durch Mitsprache. ✔️ Wer frühzeitig Betroffene einbindet, spart Zeit, Geld und Widerstand.

Schneller bauen durch weniger Beteiligung? Ein Irrweg. 𝐍𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐤𝐞𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐭 𝐤𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠. Wer Beteiligungsrechte schwächt, riskiert hingegen 𝐦𝐞𝐡𝐫 𝐊𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐭𝐞 und 𝐥ä𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐧.

After one hour of fierce discussion, we have a solid, educated guess but are still not 100% sure:

How many holes does this vase have?

Warum wir einen elektrischen Schlag bekommen: Forscher lösen Rätsel Forscher haben durch Experimente einen entscheidenden Puzzlestein für das Verständnis der Elektrostatik entdeckt.

Warum fetzt es uns manchmal, wenn wir die Türschnalle angreifen? Dem Rätsel ein großes Stück näher gekommen - eine brandneue Forschung am ISTA

Meine Lieblingsstory heute

Bluesky’s science takeover: 70% of Nature poll respondents use platform Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X.

I guess if scientists are here, science communicators should be, too.
Thus: Hello to everyone on BlueSky 👋
