As part of May’s #SciCommChall I am presenting a collection of 10 pictures that illustrate who I am and what I am working on, within and outside of my job. Enjoy :-) — 1. This is where I work This is my office. I love this space! Even though it is a small room, I […]
Next week we’ll be presenting out new lab on energy in the climate system (read more about it here) at a conference. The main focus is on actually presenting and conducting the experiments and showing and discussing the materials we developed, but I put together two posters to put up in some corner, to have […]
At first, I wanted to call this blog post “behind the scenes of a school lab” until I looked through the pictures and realized that all I am showing is people sitting around my desk in my office! Actually, not only sitting — test-running all the experiments for our energie:labor! First, here is Julian’s experiment […]
Today was a very exciting day: We launched my new school lab on energy in the climate system! The “energie:labor” is finally up and running again! Let me walk you through some of the stuff that is going on in the lab. Below, you see Mirko, who leads the station on the hydrological cycle, and […]
“Ready? Set! Aaaaand go!” was the command given at the start of a thumb wrestling war. In every pair of workshop participants, thumbs were being twisted, squeezed, freed again. We were given only 30 seconds to win! And then the time was over. “Who got how many points? Anybody more than 10?”. Nope. Most people only had […]
Yesterday Alice and I spent the afternoon and evening in the cute coastal town of Eckernförde, enjoying the summer-y weather, the Baltic Sea, and — of course! — the science outreach. It was European Researchers’ Night! We represented the energie:labor and our research group by entertaining many many people in our little blue tent: The goal […]
As I mentioned yesterday, I recently contributed to a teacher training on Lotseninsel, a tiny island on the Baltic Sea coast. The training was run by the Ozean:Labor of the Kieler Forschungswerkstatt, and we spent Friday to Sunday there. I’m going to show you some impressions of that weekend here. At first, it did not look […]
The KiFo owns a ROV that — until now — has never been fully operational. But since I like a challenge (and have a really skilled research assistant who really deserves all the credit) it’s working again! We first went to test it in a tiny lake on campus. This was exciting enough, since it seemed […]
