Does it mean #ichbinhanna has finally gained some attention in the #synchrotron community?
Very good! This is rather peculiar field of academia and precarious working conditions, in particular for female #postdocs

Dr. Diego G. Lamas's Keynote Presentation will be held during the Technical Committee Meeting of the ICDD Spring Meetings on Thursday, 19 March, beginning at 9:30 am.

The implication? Future missions shouldn't just sample random surface ice. We need the instrumentation to pinpoint surface mineralogy and directly probe these natron deposits.

Brilliant work led by @pereralj.bsky.social .

It is always great to meet former #team members again - here meeting Shambhavi after almost 5 years of finishing her #PhD at #TUM. It was a joyful #discussion spanning a range of topics from #teaching #physics in #school and at #university to working at large scale #facilities like #synchrotron

Argonne celebrates successful completion of the APS Upgrade The U.S. Department of Energy has granted its final approval to the project, bringing the decade-plus-long effort to a close The upgraded APS is now the brightest synchrotron X-ray light …

The #APS Advanced Photon Source finished its upgrade. Imho the third 4th gen #synchrotron finished on the planet. New science on the nanometre scale surely to come. Enjoy the new beam! #synchrotron

Warum eigentlich nur immer an Hochschulen? Es gibt Wissenschaftler, die an AUFs arbeiten, wie z.B. #Synchrotron. Hier steht oft #ScienceAsAService im Vordergrund, leider auf #WisszeitVG. Gleiches gilt für #RSE #deRSE
Am #Synchrotron gibt es keinen Vertrags-% für eigene Forschung. Aufpassen!

Doch. Zb am #Synchrotron keine Userbetreuung,kein IT-Support, kein Laborsupport. Man kann andere Forschung während des Streiks machen, lernt zB neue IT Skills. Aber arbeitet nicht für die Forschung der Profs.
Schreibt Bewerbungen usw .
