Soooo it is out now! I am very happy to announce that I have received the FWF ASTRA price🔆. In the next five years, I will build a group to explore star clusters and how to use them to measure distances 🚀

This workshop takes a step forward in unveiling the connection between galactic central regions, where small stellar and gaseous structures coexist with massive black holes (MBHs), and the evolution of galaxies at a global scale. @katjafah.bsky.social bit.ly/3VNIMbA

Hm might be that I just don't really have a rage playlist 😄. But I do have a writing playlist that consists of irish punk and sea shanties 😁

Katja Fahrion @katjafah.bsky.social · 24/08/2023

Mh, not sure. Probably some movie or game soundtrack to cool off. Lord of the rings, witcher 3 or maybe the oblivion soundtrack :)

For me this is not a rage playlist, but rather a nostalgia/every day list 😋

I always use "kind regards" or "best regards" to not appear too curt
