Heino Falcke - List of Press Releases
This list contains pointers to some presse releases I have been involved in. All of them have been covered in various news media and by newsagencies. Occasionally I am listing a collection of the respective links, which is totally arbitrary and incomplete. I'll try to complete this eventually, however, most print media seem to go offline (or into archives) rather quickly.
