I have over 29k open-access PDF articles right next to me. Properly indexed and named. They represent 5 years of all the #MultipleSclerosis research. Imagine if the cure is hiding in this box, and I'm too stupid to know how to open it. If anyone wants a crack at it, I'm happy to share. #datamining #ai #openscience

🎓 Congratulations to three bachelor's graduates in the Forming Worlds Lab: Malina Ovesen, Ioana Balint and Viesturs Streľčs, who defended their BSc theses last week at the Kapteyn Institute, University of Groningen. All three worked on the same group project on atmospheric escape, what sets how fast a rocky planet or sub-Neptune loses its atmosphere to space, and each took a different piece of it.
Malina traced when escape runs into the radiation-recombination limit, a natural brake: light hydrogen and water envelopes pour away freely, while heavier CO₂ and nitrogen air hits the brake, which then governs loss from every sub-Neptune and the larger super-Earths.
Ioana built a thermal-escape (Jeans) module and let starlight break molecules apart. Composition decides the outcome: hydrogen-rich air is the most vulnerable, CO₂ and nitrogen the most robust, and photodissociation leaves atomic hydrogen as the main gas slipping away.
Viesturs looked at a different bottleneck, how fast hydrogen can diffuse up from below to feed the escape at the top. Lower-mass planets, gentler starlight and hotter upper atmospheres are where that diffusion limit takes over, just as it does at Earth, Mars and Titan.
Their groupmate Renske Beuker, pictured with us, took on the fourth route, how impacts strip a planet's air, and defends soon. All four co-supervised by Mara Attia, Tim Lichtenberg and Emma Postolec. Huge congratulations.

Interesting wrinkle to my never quite finished stance on where to review and publish today.
I got a review request from the Journal of Human Geography. I look them up, they are published by SAGE, so I send my usual "I do not review for Big Publishing" response https://marioangst.com/en/blog/posts/dear-editors/
Then they actually get back with a note that they are a radical outfit (their page says they engage in "institutional socialism"), which does not make a profit and re-distributes all the money they get back from SAGE. I mean, that is quite cool and shows that it's not always so clear-cut.
I reconsidered, but in the end still decided not to review for them.
In effect, they are cool outfit who purchases publishing services from one of the big publishers. I do not have a problem in principle with companies providing scientific publishing services, as long as they don't extract excessive value from our work. SAGE might not do that for Human Geography, but definitely does as a whole.
So, after these considerations, I still do not think this aligns with my principles on where I contribute my reviewing labour. Especially as there are many other initiatives who actually have taken back the means of communications themselves. With Open Journal Systems software and recent initiatives like Open Research Europe, I just think we are at a different point in time now, where there are just not that many excuses to go with Big Publishing left.

Two Forming Worlds researchers are at Origins 2026 in Paris this week, the ISSOL astrobiology conference at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle.
Emeline Decocq (Kapteyn PhD) is asking what the surface of the Hadean Earth was like 4.4 billion years ago. Using grids of our open PROTEUS model, she finds that a more oxidised interior outgasses more greenhouse gas, often leaving the young Earth too hot for a stable ocean. That sits awkwardly with Earth's oldest zircon crystals, whose oxygen isotopes are usually read as evidence that liquid water was already around. So which gives: have we been reading the zircon record wrong, or are the models missing something fundamental about the early Earth?
Anna Grace Ulses, a PhD student in Josh Krissansen-Totton's group at the University of Washington and visiting the lab for two months, asks when oxygen is a false alarm for life. On worlds with little background gas like N2, the atmospheric cold trap weakens, water vapour climbs high, sunlight splits it apart, hydrogen escapes, and O2 piles up with no biology at all. Worth keeping in mind for the Habitable Worlds Observatory.
The earliest Earth, and the risk of mistaking a lifeless world for a living one. 🌍
