A #friendlywaves from Cyprus

My friend Alice (of the awesome Instagram @scied_alice and the equally awesome blog, which you should totally follow) sent me a #friendlywaves from her trip to Cyprus. She said that this was a simple one, so I am looking forward to what else she has up her sleeve once I pass this test ;-) So here we go […]

A #friendlywaves from a field trip in a Norwegian fjord

The other day, my friend and co-author Pierré sent me pictures he took during fieldwork in a Norwegian fjord. As I, sadly, wasn’t there, all I can do now is admire the pictures and wish I had been there. And, of course, do a #friendlywaves — an interpretation of a wave field that a friend […]

Which is, of course, not surprising given the current situation, but it isn’t cancelled as in “go […]

#WaveWatchingWednesday

Here’s another #WaveWatchingWednesday overview over my Instagram @fascinocean_kiel! Enjoy! Sun glint can be so helpful to make waves visible more clearly, like this morning. I love the combination of the turbulent wake, the feathery usually V-shaped (and in this case quite wonky) wake, the sun. Always fun to watch! Just moments later and the feathery […]

For #SciCommSunday: On the power of hashtags

Often completely underrated by people who start using twitter: The power of hashtags. In this post: Very brief intro and then the three main purposes for which I personally use hashtags. Hashtags: make your tweets easily findable Marking a keyword in a tweet with the #-sign turns it into a link which, if clicked, takes […]
