#mpic: Europa profitiert von schnelleren Energiewende. Aufgrund steigender und volatiler Preise fossiler Energieträger ist zu erwarten,dass beschleunigter Ausbau EE nicht nur Klima zugutekommt, sondern erhebliche Zusatznutzen für Luftqualität Gesundheit u. Wirtschaft bringt

New paper out today by my #MPIC colleague (and officemate/friend) Sam Nicholson, who looked at the climatic constraints on speleothem deposition in SW Asia - to the surprise of no-one who spends any time thinking about speleothem deposition, it's not straightforward!

My once a decade pavlova, just for the MPIC christmas party. Possibly I would make it more often if I owned beaters and didn't have to whip everything by hand...

I hope the Europeans enjoy a little bit of aussie (not NZ 😉) christmas tradition!

After a fair bit of frustration, our new excimer laser is installed! We have it coupled to an Element 2, and new laser plus sector magnet (rather than quadupole) mass spectrometry is a steep learning curve for me. Nice to spend the afternoon tinkering in the lab though.

Cool new research out today in #Science from #MPIC colleagues - led by Dr. Tina Ludecke. Nitrogen and Carbon isotopes indicate that Australopithecus individuals were herbivores - meaning that meat consumption didn't predate brain development!

Hey brains trust, I am facilitating some #ShutUpAndWrite sessions at #MPIC for the next 6 weeks. We are doing 2 hour sessions. I'm planning ten minutes of 'intention setting', 50 minutes of work, then a 10 minute break to chat, then 50 minutes work.

Any suggestions welcome. I've done pomodoros in the past, but found a lot of the group wouldwork through the five minute break.

Die CO2-Konzentration ist das zentrale Kriterium für die Raumluftqualität. Die Luft in Schulklassen ist so schlecht, dass sie mehr krank macht als sie zu einer gesunden Lernumgebung beiträgt.

Hello guys! A short intro of me:

I'm an #atmosphericscientist interested in #aerosols in complex systems, especially #bioaerosols (e.g., #microbes, spores, biomolecules, etc.) in the earth system and human society. 🦠 🌧️ 🌊 🤧
----------------
- Currently, I'm a postdoc at #MPIC (Mainz, Germany), supervised by Dr. Yafang Cheng and Dr. Hang Su. 🇩🇪

- I study the roles of #bioaerosols in the #atmosphere and the #Earth system.

- I've been developing and/or applying techniques to measure (bio)aerosols, including fluorescence spectroscopy (e.g., #WIBS 🌈 ) and mass spectrometry (#MS, e.g., FT-ICR MS, GC-MS, and AMS 📏 ).

I've also been applying data-mining tools (e.g., machine learning (#ML); #PMF, #PARAFAC, etc.) to reveal those unseen. 💻

Besides, from a wider perspective, I’m also interested in the #chemistry of brown carbon (#BrC), and their impact on the #climate (e.g., the #Arctic #warming). ♨️
