Having a cat while working:

My partner in a meeting: *Intense technical IT conversation ongoing* We have to—

Cat: *Races in, drifts, bounces onto desk* MRREEOOOWOOWOWOEEW!

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

I only truly understood how far behind robot manipulation was when I watched my ~1 year old peel a hard boiled egg.

I felt so stupid when I thought I had finished the analysis and realized that I had done something wrong in the first steps and needed to restart... The good point is that I understand my students better... #AcademicChatter #AcademicSky

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Avian-inspired embodied perception in biohybrid flapping-wing robotics - Nature Communications The adaptable architecture of avian feathers serves as promising inspiration for flapping-wing aircrafts (also known as ornithopters). Here, authors propose a biohybrid mechanoreceptor using natural f...

🚀Avian-inspired robotics! Researchers developed feather-piezoelectric sensors for flapping-wing robots, mimicking bird agility. This lightweight biohybrid tech detects airflow, flapping frequency, & wing shape, enabling smarter, efficient UAVs. Future of flight is biohybrid! 🌟

I am so fucking thankful for public libraries!!

Looks awesome :) no idea if you feel like adding in phd students but I'd be open!
