A few days ago, there was a new team at ISSI. With 21 members, it was a rather large one — yet everything felt familiar. There was excitement about being away from everyday routines, animated conversations over free mugs and stickers, and a buzz of anticipation in the air. But this time, there was a first: ISSI was welcoming a local class of ten-year-olds, attending the fourth year of Swiss primary school.
In her engaging TEDxVitosha presentation, Dr. Rosita Kokotanekova, Planetary Science Discipline Scientist at ISSI, poses a compelling question: Could we catch a comet before it hits Earth? She frames this not as science fiction, but as a bold, plausible scientific mission with transformative potential.
🚀🎓 Big cheers and cosmic congratulations to our former Intern Joana C. Carvalho for graduating from Università di Trento with a post-grad in Science Communication! 🌍🪐✨
The world of astronomy assembled in South Africa🇿🇦, for the first time.
ISSI was there, too.
