#GoodMorning from a windy Warsaw. Today we celebrate 35 years of the Department of Electrode Processes at our Institute with a mini conference. I will give a talk in the afternoon about being a physicist with an electrochemistry group.

a sure sign that something is "highly accepted" is if you have to threaten to impose the power of the state against those who don't accept it

Oh hey! A chemistry Nobel in a field I know absolutely nothing about. Surprise surprise :)

Basically the same answer as yesterday: it’s appalling that this is happening, but am I surprised that large corpos are behaving this way… not in the slightest.

shape of the humans that go inside it, you are going to end up with something like the field jacket. Same reason all modern cars (stupid SUVs excepted) look basically like a soap on wheels. That’s what science gives you and the design space around that is constricted.

I LOVE this episode of @99pi.org , not just because it’s a great story and the field jacket became a model for jacket design. Why do all jackets look like the M43? Because it was based on science and science works! If you design a jacket, given the constraints of materials and function and the

Man tvingar med hyran museerna till att stänga eller flytta till ödsliga platser med lågt marknadsvärde. Sedan stängs de pga brist på besökare. Och om museets närvaro skulle göra området populärt så får man återgå till punkt 1.

In Google Maps one can see the paths from before they sowed new grass. They really can’t expect people to walk around as the red lines show.

Martin Jönsson-Niedziółka @jonsson-niedziolka.pl · 03/10/2026

I like how you can kind of follow the progress. At first, a single fence was put up, which led to a new path branching out to the right. Lately the fences were connected with cable ties, so a longer path developed to the left until someone cut the ties and opened the fence again.

Martin Jönsson-Niedziółka @jonsson-niedziolka.pl · 03/10/2026

Not far from my home the local authorities a fighting a losing battle against people’s desire paths. Every now and then, new fences are put up to keep people from crossing the lawn, and almost immediately they are removed. Time to give up and just create a proper path?!

A photograph of a path in across a lawn towards a road 20 metres away. A wire fence blocks access in the foreground and over by the road. However zooming in, one can see that the middle section of the fence has been removed. The path veers off the left of the photographer, where, not seen in the photo , the fence is also removed
The photographer’s shadow is visible in the picture.

Skämt åsido. Jag kan på något vis förstå om man tycker att ett museum mitt i ett attraktivt område är ”slöseri”. Men då får man väl ha politiskt mod till att ta det beslutet och inte smyga in det bakvägen som någon oundviklig konsekvens av ”hyresmarknaden”.

Systemet är helt galet. Undrar om en institution kunde bara vägra betala hyran och riskera vräkning (fungerar det så för statliga lokaler????) för att dra saken till sin spets. Det skulle ju i alla fall ge uppmärksamhet till den här pengacharaden.

I had missed the Nikon Small World AI claims. I fear that photography as an art form is dying because every time someone posts a great image, people immediately cry "AI," whether true or not. And the distinction will only become more difficult.

The day before everything turned to hell. Ukrainians share their last memories of a relatively peaceful life—soon-to-be ruined by russia. Ukraine has always been a peaceful, life-loving country. Still is—after all the hatred we endured. But it will always fight ferociously for moments like these🧵

Hehe. And of course I messed up the alt text in the previous skeet. I trusted my memory a bit too much. The name of the school is „warszawska szkoła doktorska nauk ścisłych i BIOMEDYCZNYCH” and nothing else.

Wrapping up my first day as head of the PhD school at our institute. No disasters so far… It’s also the first time ever that I was issued a stamp with my name and position for signing documents. This is a VERY IMPORTANT THING in Poland. All important papers need stamps!

For the past 400 years, you could always ask Bubba, Jimmy, Pat, and Steve-O down at the pub for their advice on public health as well instead of the experts (enlightenment marking start of expertise). Non expert opinion is always available. It isn't normally useful, but it has always been available!

Som experimentalist är det skönt att kunna gå och göra något handfast i labbet ibland när det blir för mycket admin… Gillar att använda saker som de kanske inte avsetts. Är nöjd med The Kid’s säng med lagerutrymme under byggd av IKEA-prylar. Mittskåpet är på hjul och utdragbart.
