In this time of continental dismantling of #PlanetaryScience, @openplanetary.solarsystem.social still exists, so @coop.planetary-research.org. Apart from a new Diamond OA Journal, there is also solarsystem.video. Soon to include @europlanetmedia.bsky.social 2021+ Winter School content.

SolarSystem.video

A federated video streaming platform for planetary science.

To support Riccardo's wife and son in this unimaginably difficult time, his friends and colleagues at the University of Padova have set up a donation fund: www.europlanet.org/in-memory-of...

We are devastated by the news that Riccardo Pozzobon was involved in a tragic accident while on a research trip to the Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska, on 2 September 2025. There will be book of condolence at the main Europlanet stand at #EPSCDPS2025: www.europlanet.org/in-memory-of...

Thank you for writing.

I have followed for many years on the other platform @sarahkendzior.bsky.social back when her bio was like "recovering academic" (I think she recovered excellently), and her prose is just beautiful.

Dear @bahn.de This is a service relevant question:

Why/how to fix such variance in indoor CO2 on your trains?

Similar occupation %, similar hardware: One way is ~OK, the way back much worse (for details, please DM).

Those laid off will likely not review, those with frozen/lost grants also less likely to review. Editorial boards are going to be affected, too.

Stuff might never get back to previous state. But among the many larger disruptions,I guess also some second+ order practical effects on science will take place, e.g. peer review might be variably crippled: Most of the work is done by unpaid reviewers in the business.

What happens to federal institutes in the US. i.e. implementing some sort of "disrupt everything" - with more or less revenge embedded - to all kinds of civil servants, grant recipients, folks on soft money (but tenured are probably not safe) might be inelastic.

One has to say that #tinitaly from @ingv-press.bsky.social is a real beauty (so is the geology beneath...)
