Today the last two blue tit youngsters left the birdhouse on our balcony.
After a somewhat depressing first attempt last year, with all eight youngsters dying, this time around the parent(s) managed to get at least two of initially eight youngsters till the end.
Today at around 8am and 11am they finally left our balcony house their parents have been setting up since the very end of March.
For those of you interested, there’s a more time-lapse and motion-detection clips in a YouTube playlist.
This week I had the pleasure to have been invited to the 25th IPPOG Meeting in Sofia, in fact to talk about Munich Quantum Valley and quantum-computing in general in a quantum-computing panel discussion.
It was a pleasure to reconnect to my former colleagues and discuss what is my new job now with them.
Besides that, Netzwerk Teilchenwelt also presented the ALICE LEGO project I cohosted recently and the Particle Twister game I codeveloped :)

Last week, I took the chance to represent Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) at the annual March Meeting of the American Physical Society (APS) in Las Vegas.
In addition to many fruitful discussions at the MQV counter at the Research in Germany booth, I also manage to join some of the sessions and see a bit of the town, for a second time.
Besides Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) celebrating the first anniversary of the foundation of the Munich Quantum Valley e.V. association, it’s also my first anniversary at MQV.
Having started as ‘Public Outreach Manager’ back in Feb 2022 and taking over as ‘Head of Media Relations and Public Engagement’ in December 2022, I am now also happy to celebrate this occasion with the release of our first Public Annual Report.
Looking forward to a long list of plans and ideas to tackle in the second year and beyond.
Stay tuned an visit the MQV website for both the report and future updates …
