#Astronomietag2026

Typisches Aprilwetter: Erst dicht bewölkt und ziemlich unbeständig 🌧️
Doch am Ende hat die Sonne sich noch gezeigt – und wir konnten sogar mit den Teleskopen beobachten 🔭
Dazu gab es einige spannende Stationen und gut gefüllte Vorträge – danke fürs Vorbeikommen!❤️

📊✨ More than 300 students explored statistics at TU Dortmund’s Day of Statistics!

From sports data ⚽ and medicine 💊 to fake news detection 📰 and hands-on probability experiments 🚀 – the campus turned into a laboratory of curiosity.

Co-organized by Markus Pauly, highlighting how strong statistical education underpins trustworthy data science.

How do we inspire the next generation for #Statistics?

Mitotic Waves video wins Small World in Motion

My video of mitotic waves won Nikon’s 2024 Small World in Motion video competition! I’m thrilled 🎉

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhKlUu1SdZI

To learn more about the video, check out Nikon’s press release and their article for the series Masters of Microscopy.

There’s also a blog post that I wrote a couple of years ago with some biological information and technical details about how I created the video.

If you are wondering about the size of the embryo and how fast it really develops, there’s a version with a scale bar and time label on YouTube and available for download and re-use on Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks for your support :)

For all German speakers who missed my talk about pushing cosmology to its limits: https://youtu.be/8ew8-28wmjM?si=8CtQyn7P1Z-GREPs
Thanks again to Konstantin Haubner and the entire Kortizes team for the highly interesting evening.
Being there live is always better, as the discussion was much longer than what's on the video...
