🌟 Congratulations on your birthday Jan Klein! 🌟 Jan is son of Oskar Klein, and he celebrated his 100th birthday last weekend. Via Thomas Klein Kvorning from @Stockholm_Uni the Oskar Klein Centre delivered a bouquet and our best wishes.

Jens Melinder from OKC and @Stockholm_Uni astronomy department explains on @sverigesradio the recent Webb telescope discovery of a high redshift galaxy: sverigesradio.se/artikel/ny-gal…

Very excited to attend (and, later this afternoon, speak) at a Gravitational Wave symposium hosted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (@ScienceAcad_swe) in Stockholm.

A symposium is not only a chance to listen to great talks (like the one by @samayanissanke), but also to meet new and old friends. Several Oskar Klein Centre members organised and participated in the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences symposium on gravitational wave research.

OKC member Göran Östlin from the Astronomy Department at @Stockholm_Uni has collaborated with artist Cecilia Ömalm for a new exhibition at Liljevalchs called Stockholm’s Cosmology. The exhibit takes place from June 14 to August 18. liljevalchs.se/en/kalender/st…

Congratulations to OKC member Ragnhild Lunnan from @Stockholm_Uni, who has been elected to the Young Academy of Sweden! 🌟 Ragnhild Lunnan research is focused on how some of the largest stars in the universe can explode in extreme supernovae. sverigesungaakademi.se/pressmeddeland…
