aufi geht's, raus da und links wählen! Go go go!

Heute ist ein guter Tag, eine antifaschistische Partei zu wählen

Der Asteroid hat die FDP bald eingeholt

Wir gratulieren Heidi Reichinnek für ihren Sieg im Kanzlerduell. Aber mal im Ernst: Merz und Scholz haben deutlich gezeigt, dass das Land eine soziale Opposition dringend braucht. Am 23.2. die Linke wählen. #TVDuell #DeshalbDieLinke

I wouldn't mind if all shampoo bottles looked the same, if that meant less waste and pollution. I wanna see variety in nature, not in products.

How Trumpist foreign policies work: 1. Do something incredibly outrageous 2. Get everybody worried 3. Negotiate terms, to which no one would've agreed before, and take back some of the stupid things That's what they did with NATO spending, taxes, and that's why they might not kill science (yet)

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

I started a #github repository for python-based programs to interface with National Instruments data-acquisition devices: github.com/muchaste/NI_... They're pretty basic but can be really helpful if you're using these devices to record data. More will follow in the future... 🧪🤖 #openScience

Trump zeichnet den Fahrplan für Söder & den Rest der selbsternannten "man darf ja nix mehr sagen" Anti-woke Brigade

Das ist für mich das furchtbarste Foto der Welt (unter so vielen furchtbaren Fotos): ein kleines Kind pflückt eine Blume und gibt sie einem anderen Kind. Minuten später werden sie alle vergast. Das Foto ist von 1944 aus dem Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Meine Antwort auf das Erstarken des Rechtsextremismus und der #noAfD ist, dass ich selbst erstarke* *geht jetzt ins fitti

anybody else got their spotify algorithm scrambled by playing too much hitster over the holidays? My weekly mix sounds like the rotation on my parents' favorite radio station

Did you know that ears can PRODUCE sounds???? This article suggests that some Tinnitus might be actual sounds coming from the ear... (and it's also a really good read!) thequietus.com/interviews/l...

Ich bin es echt leid: Immer wieder bekundet Bayerns Ministerpräsident Markus Söder (CSU) seine große Liebe zum CSU-Politiker Franz-Josef Strauß, der in konservativen Kreisen als "Kraftpaket", "begnadeter Rhetoriker und Staatsmann" verklärt und als "politisches Vorbild" verehrt wird. 🧵 (1/21)

ICE nach Stuttgart, 1. Klasse komplett ausgebucht >.<

"400,000 tonnes of rock salt have been stored in a salt heap". By now, they have formed a solid block. They failed to create a disposal site for nuclear waste at Gorleben. But they successfully created the world's largest grain of salt 🌍 www.bge.de/en/the-gorle...

I wrote an Arduino library (github.com/muchaste/Ard...) to enable researchers to build their own DIY oxygen control system. Super happy that it's out now as a methods paper in the @jexpbiol.bsky.social ! doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... I'll continue working on it and adding features in the future 🧪🐠🐟

To whom it may concern, einfach die beste Formulierung. "Wer sich angesprochen fühlt...", impliziert direkt dass man selber schuld ist, wenn man ein Problem mit dem hat, was danach kommt

the asymmetry of assholery: it takes very few assholes to make a whole group uncomfortable. That's why I'm not so sure that bluesky will stay as nice as it currently is

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

these are good criticisms of bluesky, but they're somehow presented as insurmountable which I don't agree with - and also this argument is being presented as a reason to stay completely invested in X, which makes absolutely no sense to me at all (but it's coming from nonsensical ppl, so)

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Die #FDP ist einfach die Ständige Vertretung der obersten 1%, das hat das "inoffizielle" Papier von #Lindner und Co. wieder mal gezeigt. Der Schaden, den diese Kleinstpartei für Überprivilegierte an Gesellschaft und Klimapolitik angerichtet hat, ist kaum zu bemessen...

it's so wild how the tone on social media can affect your world view. I mean, I know exactly that this is not an accurate summary of the totality of things going on but not having 100s of #climateChange deniers in my feed every day does restore some faith in humanity

I’m recruiting 2 fully funded PhD students for October 2025 to investigate multiple stressors in wetlands: www.findaphd.com/phds/project... www.findaphd.com/phds/project... Come join our lab! 🧪🌍

Am intrigued by this thread of biologists describing the worst things they’ve ever smelled 🤠

trout/charr/whitefish people. What's the highest altitude population of salmonid you know? Which species, where and is it self sustaining? Please repost for maximum exposure! Cheers

midlife crisis, but don't crisis alone - make your own intervention and call it a birthday party 🎉

Left the other place run by Trump's buddy? Here's a starter pack of freshwater scientists to get you started. Also, if you're a freshwater scientist and want to be added, let me know. Still space available. go.bsky.app/K5ubDhb

guter Artikel, warum versuchen, eine Plattform vor den Rechtspopulisten zu schützen, wenn sie einem Rechtspopulisten gehört? Schön, dass gerade viele den Schwung nutzen, #Twitter den Rücken zu kehren, ich hab meine App gestern gelöscht und es war nicht ganz leicht... #TwitterQuitter

Deshalb brauchen wir Politiker, die nicht über jedes von BILD, AfD & Co hingehaltene Stöckchen springen, sondern die führen und unbeirrt die wirklich drängenden Probleme anpacken. Auch wo es mal unbequem und unpopulär ist.

If you see this, i invite you to post a picture from your device without explanation

step 1: booze step 2: Bohemian Rhapsody on full volume

you'll find me in the lab, trying to create a wormhole to get back to the other, sane parallel universe

Wanna know more about about #hypoxia tolerance and phenotypic #plasticity in #weaklyElectricFish? My talk from the #SEB2024 in Prague is online now. Check it out (and also all the other great talks of this conference!): doi.org/10.48448/342... #ecophysiology #fish #science

Job Alert! 🚨 We have a fully funded 3-year PhD-Position in ecophysiology at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin available! Please share! #Science #Academia #Fishsky

Now out - as a preprint ;) Let's give this #openScience a try, shall we? I've developed a #microcontroller-based approach for oxygen control. Please read and comment before it gets submitted: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #fishSci #openAccess #Arduino
