Cryosphere Caps: PhD hats and the researchers that wear them – Episode 3
This miniseries features the tradition of ‘PhD hat’ making in German research institutes and universities. For those of you unfamiliar with this idea (as I once was), this is one of the final milestones a graduate student has before they are officially a “Dr.”. Upon the successful defense of a thesis, the labmates of the PhD student craft a graduation hat from a mishmash of scrap cardboard and mem ...[Read More]

A Geoscientist’s Colorful Journey from Research to Children’s Books
In today’s blog we’re having a chat with our very own Dr Lucia Perez-Diaz. As Lucia put it at the start of this year’s General Assembly, us scientists get to wear many “hats”, and she lives up to that statement. Besides a brilliant geoscientist, she is an incredible artist – also featured as last year’s artist in residence – and a budding press assistant! But more importantly, she is the author of ...[Read More]

AI: the good, the bad, and the forgotten
AI is here, and when I say here, I mean e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. For all you know, this blog may have been written by an algorithm (it wasn’t — I’m not a robot, promise. Or am I?). In what feels like the blink of an eye, AI has gone from a curiosity to a fully-fledged co-pilot in science (and out of science). It’s generating satellite imagery, helping compute paleo-climate predictions, or writing your ...[Read More]

Outside the Conference: Vienna and Beyond
EGU’s General Assembly (GA) has been in Vienna for over 15 years now. There are practicalities that make it a suitable choice, such as Vienna being able to accommodate 15-20 thousand on-site participants and its location allowing many EGU members to travel there by ground-based transportation. Still, the GA’s experience also encompasses what is outside what’s outside the conferen ...[Read More]
