Some of the young scientists in the team who led the new Event Horizon Telescope polarization results and their culinary inspiration …. That has become sort of a tradition since some people misinterpreted our ring of fire as an orange donut 🤷🏼‍♂️ Not sure what happened to the color though.

(From left Freek Roelofs, Sara Issaoun and Angelo Ricarte. The first two did their PhD with me. So nice to see how they continue to take leadership in such a big collaboration 😊).

@hfalcke well, better a donut than a coffee stain :D

@vicgrinberg Funny you mention this, but the picture on the left was taken by one of the operators at the IRAM 30m telescope when I was there in 2017 observing for the #EHT. (For comparison, the black hole picture on the right was calculated by the Shutterstock collaboration and published in the journal Business Standard - that I just came across by chance🤷🏼‍♂️).
