First day of parental leave: very disappointed. No breakfast served, no time for reflection & research. No time for book-writing & bee-keeping. Just cleaning & care responsibilities. Not at all what Christian Lindner made me think it is. Not recommended. 1/5 ⭐

Wieder mit @deutschebahn.com unterwegs. Beim ICE 1215 ist der Wagen gesperrt weil Klima defekt und "Atemluft nicht sichergestellt". Aber die Lösung ist in Sicht. A Salzburg übernehmen die Österreicher, der Wagen wird geöffnet weil "denen das egal" ist 😜

Man kann über die @deutschebahn.com ja viel Schlechtes sagen, aber der Fernverkehr im Schneckentempo zwischen Salzburg und München ist zumindest gute Tourismuswerbung für Bayern.

Really sad to hear that Torbjörn Bergman passed away. I had the pleasure to meet and to work with him as a junior scholar, and will never forget his kindness and his enthusiasm. This came way too early and my thoughts are with Torbjörn's family and close friends.
