 |
 |
| Marina wonders if this Scheil calculation makes sense | Flora waiting eagerly for the precipitation kinetics output |
 |
 |
| Artem and Sergey are proud of their performance | "...and the Happiest Participant Award goes to Ashish!" |
 |
 |
| Simulations make thirsty, let's make something about it! | ...and good mood is clearly inversely proportional to thirstiness |

| We have examined this correlation at Summer Stage | Cheers, Dagmar! Enjoy the Schnitzel! |
