Managed to see the partial eclipse and inadvertently made a camera obscura!! Pretty exciting afternoon.

Frozen lake at noon #Copenhagen
Black and white picture of the Sortedams lake in Copenhagen. In the picture the shore of the lake is visible on the background with a series of buildings. In the middle of the lake a small island is visible with a single tree with no leaves. The lake surface is frozen, so both the buildings on the shore, the island, and the tree are reflected in the ice surface.

A movie that takes place where you're from (Ah yes, middle of the jungle Mexico City 🤣)
Poster for the 1959 Italian movie "Caltiki the immortal monster". The main poster is a painting of a giant gray blob engulfing skyscrapers while people escape from the area and a tank uses a flame thrower against it. On top the headline "Will the first life on earth be the last terror of ma ?". On the side several tiny frames of the movie are displayed.

At some point, during grad school, @paleopatt.bsky.social, me, and other people joked on using Shaq as an unit system (distance, isotopic composition, etc). Glad to see the #Creepcast podcast having the same idea.

Last weekend I visited the charming town of Chevreuse, just outside of Paris. However can't say I can remember how I got back home, and this is the only picture in my phone. Any idea what causes this glitch in Android phones?
Black and white picture of a cellar looking room made out of stone and bricks. Most of the room is in darkness. An door is in the back, light coming out of it. In front of the door, there is a hexagonal stone table. From the door there is definitely not coming out a mass of tentacles going into the room towards the person taking the picture. Picture of a tannerie facility in the town of Chevreuse with digital editing.

Had a zombie-themed dream last night where the possibility of Zombie river dolphins was raised. And apparently even my sleeping brain was like "we're absolutely not rendering that nightmare"
Photo of four river dolphins underwater. In the front one of the dolphins shows their upper half in an upright manner. Two dolphins lurk behind, at each side of the first dolphin, barely visible. A fourth dolphin is only visible by the tail that peaks in the bottom left of the picture.The dark water adds a brown tint to the entire picture. Credit of the picture in the bottom right is to Kevin Schafer.

Recently went hiking to the Chartreuse massif, omg the views!
U-shaped valley viewed from the Col de Bellefontaine. In the picture a valley extends down from where the picture was taken and continues towards the horizon. Exposed rock, shrubs and snow cover the immediate surroundings but as the valley continues the landscape becomes greener. The entire valley is covered by grey clouds, letting just enough light to illuminate the farther part of the valley.View of the Chamechaude. The summit is present in the background, in front of it a bunch of trees cover the base of the peak and then stop at a meadow where the observer is located. The meadow is covered in tiny yellow flowers, some herbs and grass. A few meters in front of the viewer two people sit in the grass looking at the peak.

It was really fun to co-organize the biomarker session for #EGU25. It was surprisingly fun to do a quick poster tour with ~1 minute pitches from the posters, the talks were so interesting. Also, while you wouldn't know it by the picture, we forgot to take a picture of everyone together.
Picture of four people in front of a blue sign that says "Welcome to the EGU general assembly 2025". From left to right posing you can see Addison Rice, Nora Richter, Pablo Martinez, a poorly photoshopped version of Petter Hällberg, and Jingjing Go.

Academics for the next few days. #100yearsofsolitude 🧪
Three panels from a scene from the Netflix series 100 years of solitude. In the first panel José Arcadio asks Melquiades if they'll see each other the next day, Melquiades replies that won't be possible. In the second panel José Arcadio argues that they just started some experiments. In the last panel Melquiades replies that while that is true, José Arcadio already has everything he needs for the experiments.

Just a reminder that Jingjing Guo, @hallbergpetter .bsky.social, Nora Richter, Addison Rice and myself have an #EGU25 session on developing new biomarkers! #EGUbiomarker. The deadline to submit is January 15 tinyurl.com/4422wwr7
Screenshot of the following text:
Lipid biomarkers: novel applications, calibrations and tools for environmental studies Lipid biomarkers are valuable tools for reconstructing a variety of environmental processes in modern and (geological) past settings. We seek studies that develop new lipid biomarkers and methods for applying biomarkers to modern settings and the geologic past to reconstruct environmental parameters such as temperature, precipitation, biogeochemical cycles, anthropogenic activities, and vegetation. These can be studies on the biosynthesis and phylogeny of source organisms, transport and diagenesis, calibrations to environmental parameters, proxy interpretation and applications to reconstruct past environmental conditions.
