Are we valuing poster sessions enough?

Are we valuing poster sessions enough?

Do not get me wrong, EGUs General Assembly is a great conference and it’s a real pleasure to explore all the science on display, reconnect with colleagues from other institutes, cities and disciplines. But, wandering the venue and seeing all the empty poster walls left a sad feeling. It’s not only singular gaps in an otherwise packed hall, it’s whole empty corridors and not only Monday morning or ...[Read More]

From Particles to the Air We Breathe: Dominik Stolzenburg’s Journey into the Hidden Life of Aerosols

From Particles to the Air We Breathe: Dominik Stolzenburg’s Journey into the Hidden Life of Aerosols

Dr. Dominik Stolzenburg is a chemist in atmospheric physics at TU Wien, specializing in aerosol science and air quality. His work focuses on how ultrafine particles form, transform, and affect both climate systems and human health — especially in cities. Through field measurements, modeling, and data analysis, he explores how human and natural emissions interact, helping policymakers shape cleaner ...[Read More]

“You Can’t Get Around Clouds”: A Conversation with Climate Scientist Ulrike Lohmann

Prof. Dr. Ulrike Lohmann is a leading atmospheric physicist and climate scientist at ETH Zurich’s Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science, renowned for her pioneering work on clouds, aerosols, and their interactions within the Earth’s climate system. Her research has significantly advanced our understanding of how microscopic particles influence cloud formation and, in turn, the global ...[Read More]

Parenting in Academia: Challenges and Perspectives

Trying to juggle teaching, advising, publishing, finding a new (or permanent) job, relocating, attending conferences, and actually doing research sometimes requires more hours in the day than exist (oh and that global pandemic situation is sticking around). Additionally, many scientists have children or are starting a family at the same time as maintaining and building a career. In this week’s blo ...[Read More]
