My PhD thesis has been published!
If you're interested in how to manipulate atoms into their coldest possible state using lasers, and why it's interesting to drop them in a 10m vacuum tower, this is for you! Also, fun with "painting" arbitrary shapes with laser beams! #physics#AtomInterferometry#Quantum#QuantumSensing https://doi.org/10.15488/17346
Visited the #Curie museum (#MuseeCurie) in #Paris today. It's tiny, but really cool to see this collection on the lives of the Curie family with their three Nobel prize winners. And you can see Marie Curie's office and lab from the time when she was head of the Curie Laboratory!
Also: A quarter of her staff of ca. 40 people were women! In the 1930's! #WomenInSTEM
Quite a scary moment when you discover an odd factor of two in a crucial calculation two weeks before the thesis submission deadline :blobcat0_0:
Fortunately I could follow my git commits and lab notes to figure out that I had the same issue before and the current calculation turned out to be correct... #PhDLife
I will defend my PhD thesis in April (yay!). I thought it would be possible to make the reviewing committee less male, but it's harder than I thought.
My (male) professor and (male) supervising PI are set. The chair needs to be from another institute at my faculty - but all 3 (!) women out of 8 (!) institutes are not available.
Let's see if I can at least find a female external referee anywhere in the world... #WomenInSTEM#PhdLife
Finally managed to put up some pictures in my not-so-new apartment!
I especially love this #StarTrek triptych by @ShindaHotaru :blobcataww: (pictures by her, I just stuck them on this background) #MastoArt
Does anyone know a way to livestream the content of a DVD on a #Linux OS (#Manjaro) to another person on the internet?
Apparently #Discord on Linux has issues sharing the sound. #askFedi
@ditsch42 VLC has the option to stream to Network. If you happen to have a private VPN with a guest account (Fritzbox enabled this recently afaik) it might work that way. But my solution might be a tad over-engineered since I don't know my way around Linux too well
Everyone sorts the prettiest and most pretentious #books of their collection in the most prominent row of the shelf ... right?
I guess you can learn a lot about me just from looking at these books! #Bookstodon
At the #EQTC conference I asked around about available jobs for physicists at some company booths - do people really think it makes their activities sound interesting if they tell me I can learn everything relevant within a week? Sounds like I would be bored in week 2...! #JobSearch
Wenn es in einer Panel-Diskussion heißt "Deutschland ist großartig für permanente Stellen, es gibt schließlich Max-Planck-Institute" - haben die dann schon mal vom #WissZeitVG gehört? #IchBinHanna
Als Antwort auf die berechtigte Frage nach Burnout und Depressionen in der Wissenschaft waren sich alle Panel-Teilnehmer*innen einig, dass das auf persönlicher Ebene/im Team gelöst werden muss und dass die Institutionen und Geldgeber nichts dagegen tun können... #IchbinHanna
