Koala overleden in Ouwehands Dierenpark: 'Wel schrikken' In Ouwehands Dierenpark is afgelopen vrijdag een koala overleden. Het vrouwtje was 5 jaar oud en laat een 11 maanden oude baby achter, meldt de dierentuin vandaag.

Well this is just incredibly sad. She was a beautiful 🐨 😭 Keeping our fingers crossed that her joey stays healthy.

Hubs has however moved my ladder. So maybe I now live on the shed roof.

Spring green roof maintenance is done! Lots of weeds to haul out this time (mostly grass and some weird spreading thing with a pondweed vibe). Maybe because I'm a bit late with it?

Finding out that you actually can't apply for a grant that would have taken a good chunk out of your summer to write.

No shade to the OP for admitting this, but it shocks me that people my age don’t know this.

You fundamentally cannot understand how the world functions, how power works, if you don’t know history.

A reminder that the Artemis missions are fully built on international collaboration in huge ways. This is not just the US going to the moon!

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home πŸ”­

We'll be squished into temporary desks on the 3rd floor for a few months. Hopefully back on a shiny mouse-proof institute at the end of August.

Equation-of-state-informed pulse profile modeling NICER observations of x-ray pulsars can put constraints on the mass and radius of neutron stars which constrain the nuclear equation of state. However, modeling the pulse profile as a function of mass...
