Just getting a chap catching a regular city bus with his dogs.. a normal thing in Hamburg apparently! Love how nonchalant that last doggo is.. taking their time to look around! (I was in Germany for a beamtime at DESY a few weeks ago.)

'Pour myself a cup of ambition..' Best line she ever wrote, and I honestly think about it most mornings when I make my coffee. This morning I am pondering it a little longer. Vale Dolly. 💔

Powerless against bird flu? Not entirely. Here are 8 ways to help protect Australia’s birds and mammals
As a lethal bird flu spreads in Australian wildlife, it can be easy to think nothing can stop it. That’s an error – much can be done.

Story time! Six years ago, my first book, The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking), came out. It was fun to write! I got to share all my cosmology fun facts and dig deep into all the ways the universe might end. I had SO much fun with it, I thought, "maybe I should write another book?" 1/?

Something in the air this morning made me think 'look for ducklings today'. So I walked along the creek at ANU and YES!! We have ducklings ppl!! 🦆🌱 (Didn't want to cross the creek and disturb them, hence the distant pics.) #ANUDailyJoy
