This week we will be posting a lot about something called “Intensity Interferometry”. No idea what that means? By the end of the week you will! Follow us! Artwork: Marine Pihet

In June 2022, the IXPE satellite observed a shock passing through the jet of active galaxy Mrk 421. The rotation of the X-ray polarised radiation and the analysis of other emission reveals that the jet contains a helical magnetic field. Di Gesu et al.: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Happy pi approximation day! Today's date, 22 July, can also be written as the fraction 22/7, which is equal to 3.14285714, an approximation of π, correct to two decimal places.

Mirror mirror on the wall, which is the prettiest telescopes of them all? Still my favorite #PhD gift: one of the old MAGIC telescopes 🔭🌠 mirrors framed by my amazing colleagues 🥰

Our MAGICian Lea Heckmann received a special gift for her #PhD... We can't think of a better place for one of our old mirrors..💜💜💜It detected many high energy particles and now can rest during its retirement! Thank you Lea for taking care of it! #PhDone

Many MAGICians are attending the @icrc2023 conference! They bring our scientific results to the high-energy #astronomy community👏👏👏 #MAGICinconference #theMAGICcollaboration #research #researchers #ScienceTwitter #science

Make sure to check out our #poster on "A survey to evaluate diversity, equity and inclusion in large collaborations" presented by Lea Heckmann on site @icrc2023 in #Nagoya. #DEI #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #MAGICinconference #ICRC2023

Missed our #DEI poster today @icrc2023? 🌈🌟 But still want to learn more on how to evaluate the situation in your collaboration? Don't worry, you'll get another chance to check it out on Monday! I'll again present it on behalf of MAGIC telescopes 🔭🌠 & Juliane van Scherpenberg @ Noyori hall

Our Lea Heckmann, leader of the DEI survey team, with the #dei poster presented at @icrc2023! The DEI survey was very useful to identify and face issues. Thanks to the whole DEI task force! 🌈Juliane van Scherpenberg Jarred Green Jelena Striskovic Marina Manganaro 🚀📚☕🎲🐧 Alessio Berti Daniela Dorner

Our MAGICian Lea Heckmann 🪄 presented at TAUP2023 her work on MAGIC observations of Markarians together with the IXPE observatory. Here she is looking at the SED with so much love❤️Max Planck PhDnet Max Planck Society #taup2023 #MAGICinconference #astronomy #astrophysics #PhDLife

Finally enjoying TAUP2023 gala dinner in the Rathaus! #taup2023 #vienna

Last week a lot of MAGICians gathered in Vienna at the The International Conference on Topics in Astroparticle and Underground Physics (TAUP)! This is a picture they took while enjoying their free time between different scientific sessions. #theMAGICians #theMAGICcollaboration

Postdocs in Munich, have you already registered for our #PAWde MPN-Stammtisch next week? Join us on Thursday at 5.30 pm at the MPI für Plasmaphysik (IPP)! We looking forward to the exciting program organized by MPN board member Felipe Nathan de Oliveira Lopes Register until Sept. 18: paw-germany.de/event/mpnstamm…

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same

“I am inspired by her constant kindness and support and by the seemingly smooth but realistically surely challenging path she is pursuing in astrophysics.” Marine Pihet, Master's student INFN Padova about Lea Heckmann on the international day of #WomenInScience.

INFN Padova Lea Heckmann “She is clever, and very professional and responsible, and also very creative and motivated in finding ways of moving projects forward.” David Paneque, spokesperson of #theMAGICtelescopes about Lea Heckmann on the international day of #WomenInScience. David was Lea's PhD advisor

“I just love her dry but humorous way of coping with often male-dominated environments.” Lea Heckmann about Elina Lindfors (Turun yliopisto - University of Turku) on the international day of #WomenInScience. Elina is a Finish astrophysicist and a leading expert in blazars and multiwavelength studies.
