It was interesting to witness how the K2-18b case was received among astronomers. Clearly it was negative. With a possible sign for life you need to be very careful. Also funny to see that it's not always the media that blows things up, but also 'top' scientists and their university PR divisions.

K2-18b is the name of an exoplanet that got quite some media attention recently, due to 'evidence' of a so-called bio-signature. But not really:

So it's my turn to #takeover the @frontiersmedia.bsky.social account this week. Based at Leiden Observatory, I'm diving into exoplanet research. The obvious question is: how unique is planet Earth? And if not so, where are these "planet B's", and how can we find them? Stay tuned for some insights.

📢 Tomorrow, #FRONTIERSfellow Senne Stackx is taking over our account for a week!

🌌Senne will be sharing insights from his residency at the Leiden Observatory, where he’s reporting on exoplanet research.
Stay tuned! ✨

As a @frontiersmedia.bsky.social Fellow, I’m excited to explore a fascinating question at @istaresearch.bsky.social: How do living systems—from embryos to animal colonies—self-organize? At ISTA, I’ll engage with researchers studying this phenomenon from various angles. #FRONTIERSFellow

How has the scientific publishing landscape changed in the past years? How do science journalists adapt to those changes?
Gema Revuelta and #FRONTIERSfellows address these questions and discuss public perception of science, in the 2nd session of the #FRONTIERStraining.

In a writing clinic, I gave researchers some advice this afternoon. What do you think of my expansion of the classic man-bites-dog example?

Three columns:
1 - Dog Bites Man: non-story, no news value
2 - Man Bites Dog: story, news value
3 - How I Decided To Bite The Dog: narrative, emotional value

On the second day of the #EHDS Forum workshop, I got introduced to a new academic format: Walk & Talk. My matching partner and I went to the nearby botanic garden and got inspiration from some older academics.

I had the pleasure of hosting a panel today: “European Health Data Space – Why should we care?” There was a lot of skepticism in the room whether the #EHDS can become a success. If our health data can be put to use for public and economic benefit remains an open question.

Nordhavn in Copenhagen that has been developed as a 5-minute city. When apartment buildings, office buildings, hotels and other service functions mix, everything is within reach without a car. One building combines a grocery store, parking garage and rooftop gym. #weekendexplorer #FRONTIERSTakeOver
