🐈‍⬛ This cat-borne parasite could be causing you to make bad decisions. Here's how
The parasite hijacks our brain chemistry and can lead to both rage and risk-taking

“In particular, the potential for parasitic infections to exacerbate aggressive and impulsive behaviour raises important questions for understanding and preventing violence and behavioural disorders.”

#CopterPortrait Meet Hopper¹, our second and bigger #multicopter with meteorological #PARASITE payload. This one can carry a lot more sensors, so we have more temperature and humidity measurements, some gas sensors (#CO2, #Ozone, #NO2) and most importantly #particles. The two chimneys at the sides are two inlets for particle measurements: one is dried with silica beads and the other just gets unchanged ambient air. You can read more about this in this² paper. While you're at it, you can have a look at our other publications on particles, e.g. this one³.

Of course, Hopper's PARASITE payload also runs ❄️ #NixOS.

¹ Yup, the bad grasshopper villain from #Pixar's #BugsLife

#CopterPortrait Meet Flik¹, the #multicopter we developed our first #PARASITE payload for. It's a commercial dji Mavic 3E drone typically used for photography. Here, Flik is measuring for the #TeamX campaign in #Austria, which will eventually improve #mountainWeather forecasts.

🌡️ Our PARASITE system (running ❄️ #NixOS) has several ventilated meteorological sensors on board for temperature and relative humidity.

💨 From all the data we get from copter and sensors we derive a fast 3D wind measurement. So yes: We can now measure #turbulence with a copter, without the need for an actual anemometer: The copter is our anemometer!

✅ Comparisons in #Falkenberg with a @DeutscherWetterdienst tower shows that the data quality is comparable to ultrasonic anemometers - the current gold standard of operational turbulence measurements.

¹ yes, from #Pixar's #BugsLife 🐜 😉

[P] It's really hard to have empathy for hiverarchians, having seen first-hand how the unga-bunglers hurt animals. My empathy is based upon morality & justice, and if you're an exploitative, soulless parasite with no thought or care for anyone other thaj your fellow parasites in hiverarchy? And if you're a constant displsy of such openly corrupt, deplorable behavior? I'm so sick of you. Hiverarchy is planet earth's COVID, always has been.
