How to write interesting scientific briefs without sacrificing substance:

There is a tendency among high profile agencies (#NASA, #ESA) to reduce hard content in articles, presumably to make them easily *consumable* by casual readers.

IMO, this isn't working. What's left after such reduction is mostly generic stuff, sprinkled with bits of light info, which makes all such articles similarly boring.

It's been a while, so time for a new #intro :

I am a scientist at the meteo institute of Norway (MET Norway). I live in #Oslo . I work on #satellite, #climate and #SeaIce, with various institutions like #ESA and #EUMETSAT.

The banner pic of my profile is an artist view of a satellite flying above our Earth. This is the European CIMR satellite that will fly in the early 2030s.

I am trying to be better at #OpenScience, #music, and #Bass / #BassGuitar .

I post in English, French, and Norwegian.

I am @lavergnetho on Loops too. 👋

If #ESA wants to be a contemporary Space Agency that reaches out to people and helps them connect, stay informed on space technology and the European efforts in the realm of #space, then they need to pay attention to what many of their videos are emitting: an aura of a closed club of detached officials. ESA videos should not be just an opportunity for officials to make a cameo, e.g.:

Let scientists and engineers handle public outreach. They do it tremendously better.

The Euclid space telescope captures 26 million galaxies in a first data drop.

The European Space Agency has released the first batch of large-scale images from the Euclid space telescope, which astronomers have already used to find hundreds of strong gravitational lenses.

During a six-year mission, Euclid will image about one-third of the sky to illuminate how dark matter and dark energy behave on cosmic scales.

More information on this first release of a batch of survey data, including a preview of Euclid deep fields:

▶️ esa.int/Science_Exploration/Sp

Yes, the data is publicly available!

Euclid ‘quick’ releases, such as this, are of selected areas, to demonstrate the data products to be expected in the major data.

It's #Euclid data release day!

#ESA and the Euclid Consortium are making 63 deg² of Wide Survey data available to the world. Imaging and spectroscopy data, catalogues and masks for 20+ million galaxies, quasars, stars and substellar objects.

This "Q1" data release is aimed both at the community to sharpen their tools for the 30x larger DR1 expected in late 2026, as well as to enable a first set of science projects across cosmic time.

Q1 is accompanied by the presentation of 7 Euclid Consortium data release publications, and an initial batch of 27 science papers.

Space Heroine goes Covergirl.
Das Magazin für Kunst und Gesellschaft in NRW #KulturWest hat passend zum Monat des Intl. Frauentags ein Frauenheft herausgegeben. Für den Titel wurde ein Motiv aus meiner Arbeit "Space Heroines" benutzt, einer Serie von weiblichen Superheldinnen, die im Weltraum für Recht und Ordnung sorgen und gegen #Weltraumschrott kämpfen. Sie entstand während meiner Artist-in-Science Residenz bei der #ESA und versteht sich als Kommentierung einer von Männern geprägten Raumfahrt
