Whoever told me ÖBB is better than DB , has seriously wrong priorities. This train from Munich to Vienna was pure hell. Late, yes. But 5h in a entirely full train without aircon (and no windows that open) at a day with 35+ °C is a physical attack, not a technical glitch
About the state of Deutsche Bahn. Because all my trains very massively delayed, i was able to switch to another (massively delayed) train, which in the sum got me 30 min early to my destination #OnlyInGermany
Only one city in the world where this is an absolute must.
A fitting conclusion if the Bordeaux Polymer Conference #BPC2026 with a private visit to the WW II submarine bunkers. Difficult German history, put to use today for beautiful art installations. I'm quite impressed!

Things I love about being in France #457: when you bite into that piece of baguette and the taste of wet hiking socks after a overnight hike hits your taste buds with that camembert. Sincerely, I love every second of it!
Whenever you think German DB engineering can't get worse anymore, our ICE just had to stop at a random province station, and turn itself off and on again.....
📢 We are excited to announce this year’s Chemical Science symposium on the topic of digital chemistry in the age of AI and machine learning! Find out more at rsc.li/chemscisymp2026 The symposium will be held in London, UK on the 29th and 30th of October 2026 in person only. #ChemSciSymposium
Thought of the day Grant writing is like a lottery, only that you buy tickets 10 months before the draw, you receive a letter mid-time about how stupid your choice of numbers is and even if you picked the right ones, there is still a very good chance you still loose. Am I wrong?
I hate having to fly and not being at home, but I also really want you go to conferences. Make it make sense
Some 2 years ago I was approached to write an article about being trans. Took a year to write, with many rewrites to keep up to date with the world. Long story short, got rejected. Was devastated. Took me over a year to recollect myself. Now it can be read: #idahobit medium.com/@Tanja.Junke...

My phone just reminded me that 3 years ago I was in Paris. Tonight I'm in Clayton, looking non flashy after a gym workout. Still, a nice comparison. I think I have achieved a bit of change there.

I love pumpkin in all its varieties regardless. But let's just say any vegetable that comes in a natural spaghetti form needs to be celebrated. My only question is, why can I get butternuts and Kent's all year round, but this beauty only for 4.5 days during autumn? #chemistswhocook #squash
is it only me, or is Bluesky posting by now as much shouting into the void as mastodon is?
Today I feel I finally crossed the border to being an adult. Went to Ikea and besides getting what I wanted, spend only 10 dollars on stuff. I know, unbelievably mature.
Did I want to go to the gym this morning? No. Do I think food is a healthy incentive to do sports? No. Did the knowledge that the IGA close to the gym sells fresh pretzels in the morning enough of argument to get my butt into my gym pants? Maybe.
Teasing a new paper coming out from our group. Can you figure out what we have done, based on the attached song? #Papersong #Ozchem #polymers #iupac #Monash
Congratulations! Very well deserved!

I will admit that I am a whimp. Heaters went on today. Melbourne winter 2026 has officially began
