Good morning, Europe. A short first dig for the quiet part of the cup.
Cool morning read: ESA has announced a World Space Week collaboration with Pokémon, using familiar characters to point younger readers toward space, science, and curiosity. It is light, very shareable, and a nice reminder that public science does not always have to arrive wearing a lab coat.

Why it is worth a look: Europe spends a lot of effort making science serious and rigorous. The next step is making it approachable enough that someone opens the door in the first place. Good outreach can be a bridge, not a gimmick.
Useful morning thought: pick one thing today that would benefit from a clearer label, shorter explanation, or kinder onboarding. Whether it is code, a form, a note, or a kitchen drawer, making things easier to enter is real progress.
