Dr. Victoria GrinbergI'm thinking about what to do with this place and how to use it productively. And the best, most useful thing I get out of it is the happiness of shared books and recipes and the chance to meet new great people.
So what I will try is to make it a happy and productive space for us for the next months. I will not always succeed but we need it.
Dr. Victoria GrinbergIf you prefer to read things instead of listening (as do I myself; not an audio person ... 😅
), Physics World has now turned the podcast with me into a written interview:
▶
️ https://physicsworld.com/a/victoria-grinberg-the-astrophysicist-sharing-her-love-for-science/
It's about my science, but also about all the things I do as a scientist that are not my science - climate crisis outreach and Astronomers for Planet Earth, my art and outreach in general.

Dr. Victoria GrinbergWant to know what my research is about? Follow this thread 🧵
based on a 10min talk I've drawn for a meeting.
The talk was aimed at non-specialist space science colleagues (not the general public!). The slides were built up step by step, but I'm omitting this here & showing only the final graphs, less this becomes a 34-part thread. 11 is plenty enough!
So: "Understanding Winds of Massive Stars Using High Mass X-ray Binaries"

Everyone who ever plans to be teaching and is forced to make their students take exams (especially in the academic environment but also outside) should read this.
There is SO much to learn and think about from this post, not just about chatbots but so much more.
ploumGiving University Exams in the Age of Chatbots
How I managed to give an exam while giving the students the choice to use a chatbot or not.
And what I learned in the process.

Dr. Victoria GrinbergLook at the beautiful mug shelf partner made 🤩
Lighting isn't perfect and some of the cups are in the dishwasher, but I can't wait to show the shelf off!

Dr. Victoria GrinbergWenn jemand mal in Italien und/oder Spanien war, egal ob privat oder geschäftlich, wird diese Person wissen, dass das mit dem Einscannen der Persos sich nicht vermeiden lässt. Ich will gar nicht wissen, wie oft Daten sonst gestrohlen werden, ohne dass es einer großen Meldung wert ist weil es keine Hotels in beliebten Urlaubsorten in der "oberen Preisklasse" sind 😭
