Thx! I live in the Netherlands but was on a limited time visa so this would make life easier (and cheaper, no renewals...) 😂

How timely! Looks like EHT has just decided on an acronym for their upcoming run:
Just finished our winter (online) @ehtelescope.bsky.social Collaboration meeting today, and someone came up with the awesome acronym for our Spring 2026 first ever #blackhole MOVIE campaign = "Multi-epoch Observations with VLBI of the Intensity Evolution of M87*"!! 🧪🔭⚫🎬

Thanks! I've already been inside the building and sat on the cool ladder-chair but I haven't actually used it yet! The Observatory there has such great facilities!

Thanks so much Jonathan! And as you know I wouldn't be here today if you hadn't been a big mentor of mine back when I was a pesky undergrad, and during rougher seas while a grad student 💕

tja mijn titel komt uit de 18e eeuw en ik weet niet precies wat "experimental philosphy" bedoelt maar ik neem aan dat ik een beetje Harry Potter magie doe en een officiële toverstaf krijg 😂 Maar eerlijk gezegd doe ik altijd veel wetenschapscommunicatie en daar zijn er ook zeer veel mogelijkheden!
