@flodebarre Great question. First shot from me: 1908 #TunguskaEvent and 2013 #ChelyabinskMeteor both hit #Russia! There are ~200 countries so the likelihood must be 1/40000 LOL

Time for a proper #introduction, using all the hashtags to help build #networks of #care
Hi! I'm Solvejg and work in #literaryStudies and #CulturalStudies at the #German department in #Dresden (#TUdresden to be exact) started out with #catastrophes and #historyOfScience in a book on the #TunguskaEvent.
Most of what I do happens in #EnvironmentalHumanities - I'm interested in #Climate and #Wilderness narratives and right now I focus on #plants. I'm writing a book on #trees and how they turn into #archives, #ghosts and #monsters...I get really excited about it all, as you'll see 😁
One of the main reasons for me to be active on social media is a personal (as well as academic) interest in #sciComm #WissKomm. There is just no way to do the work without listening to others!
Looking forward to connecting with y'all 😉

First expedition to depths of Lake Cheko close to epicentre of #Tunguska event to start in February
Geophysicists and hydrobiologists will dive below 30 metres in what some scientists believe is the #impact #crater. Russian scientists will be travelling to the remote #Tungussky nature reserve in #Krasnoyarsk region, Central #Siberia, at the end of February.
