With #LPSC2025 about to start, it's time to share what I've been working on during the last months.
This is a new high resolution 3D model of the Mont Mercou outcrop, that I made during my recent internship at LPG Nantes.

Are you curious how I invented my micro-macro-amplifyer and why I like Dr Who? How I learned from a BBC colleague that a bed is important for work? Do you want to imagine a grey haired woman watching childrens' TV and having a culture clash thanks to Audacity? How I came to podcasting (part 1) https://steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcuts/posts/e7f309ce-2f1e-46f0-ba80-e8e86b6a8430
I’ve been here a while, but I’m just now posting an #Introduction. Why? I’ve been a bit shy to, and as an observer by nature, I wanted to understand what this space can offer and what I can offer in return.
I believe in kindness, curiosity, and the types of communication that can arise when people hold those two values close.
I’m looking to connect with people who want to have these types of conversations and prefer going below the surface, sharing personal experience, and practicing empathy.
I also appreciate those discussions, ideas, and facts in my feed that scratch my intellectual itch as well as the beautiful moments that people share. I moderately boost.
I’m interested in topics such as better communication, belonging and connection, art history, sociology, culture, and the preservation of our collective and individual humanity.
I have many causes that I care deeply about, such as women’s issues and intersectional feminism, human rights, and information about covid/public health, and media literacy. Books and Eastern Europe are also high on my list.
While I believe in staying aware, I rarely post about straight politics.
I’ve already connected with some thoughtful, insightful, caring, curious people – would love to meet more.

Montag: Schwefelfund auf dem Mars, Ursache und Folgen des CrowdStrike-Fiaskos
Mars-Rover entdeckt erstmals Schwefel + Details zum CrowdStrike-Update + Warnung vor CrowdStrike-Phishing + Überwachung trotz Datenschutz + 30 Jahre TIE Fighter
Mars-Rover der NASA findet erstmals reinen Schwefel auf dem roten Planeten
Beim Überfahren zerbricht Curiosity einen Mars-Stein, der offenbar reinen gelben Schwefel enthält. Der erstmalige Fund ist überraschend und bislang ungeklärt.
#Curiosity ist auf seinem Weg über den #Mars schon über einige Steine gefahren. Jüngst ist ein kleiner Felsen unter den Reifen des Marsrovers zerbröselt und hat etwas überraschendes offenbart: https://winfuture.de/news,144023.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Indiz für Sauerstoff? – Curiosity findet unerwartet viel Manganoxid auf dem Mars
Auf der Erde ist Manganoxid dank des vielen Sauerstoffs ziemlich häufig, auf dem Mars sind die Voraussetzungen nicht so gut. Ein Fund ist deshalb ein Rätsel.
Lebensfreundlich: Mars-Rover Curiosity findet Spuren jahreszeitlicher Wechsel
Curiosity hat in einer neuen Umgebung Strukturen am Boden gefunden, die auch jahreszeitliche Wechsel zwischen Feuchtigkeit und Trockenheit hindeuten.
Heftiger Sonnenausbruch erstmals parallel auf Erde, Mond und Mars beobachtet
Im Oktober 2021 sorgte eine heftige Sonneneruption für Polarlichter. Erstmals wurde solch ein Ausbruch damals parallel auf drei Himmelskörpern beobachtet.
Sometimes you make things for sheer curiosity.
I've been trying tessellated origami forms for a while. This one is appealing as it is easy to fold and fun to play with.
I folded it from a sheet of watercolour paper coated with cyanotype.
It went outside for a day or so.
When developed, it looked like the final picture.
So now I know. Curiosity sated. Until next time.
(6/6) On May 17, 2023, Walter Haupt passed away at the age of 88. His irrepressible #curiosity, his openness and willingness to experiment, his efforts to bring #art out of its hallowed halls to as many people as possible, and his call for #peace will be missed. https://ars.electronica.art/aeblog/en/2023/05/24/walter-haupt-1935-2023/
A very happy #Caturday one and all. Hope your furry monsters and you are having a fab one!

#NASA's #Curiosity rover got a major software upgrade, the first one since 2016. 180 changes:
https://mars.nasa.gov/news/9378/nasas-curiosity-mars-rover-gets-a-major-software-upgrade/
Big changes:
• Thinking while driving: similar to #Perseverance's AutoNav, albeit without the dedicated hardware
• Less steering, depending on rocks under the wheels: a previously rejected "nice to have" feature, now implemented
• Easier software patches
• More efficient and accurate robotic arm and masthead pointing

I've been seeing more of the #FediSingle #hashtag lately. I haven't seen enough yet to figure out if it's a #Relationship tag or a proud to be tag.
I'll watch with #curiosity.
Fellow scientists of Mastodon, what's the big question that drives your research?
please boost and reply to compile a big ol' honkin' list of scientific inspiration
#science #scicomm #curiosity
One of the most well-known #Mars rovers is the #Curiosity rover, which was launched in 2011 and is still active today. Curiosity is a large, mobile laboratory that is equipped with a range of scientific instruments, including a camera, spectrometer, and weather station. It has made many important discoveries on Mars, including evidence of past water on the planet's surface and the detection of methane in the atmosphere.
