As many (though certainly not enough) others, we went to the March for Science in Munich today (have a look, you might find someone you know on this BR.de – pa/dpa picture).

Münster2017
Just returned from this year’s annual Spring Meeting of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG) [German Physics Society] on particle physics in Münster.
I had the pleasure to chair a session on ‘searches for new particles’, listened to a few very nice talks, joined a couple of interesting discussions and got the chance to see a bit of a nice city.

We had Christmas dinner at work yesterday … more than two kilograms of cheese (Appenzeller, Gruyère, Emmental and an old Tyrol cheese) in seven different kinds of cheese fondue (Appenzeller, Gruyère, Tyrol, tomato mixed, spring onion mixed, bacon mixed, chives mixed; and yes, I know it’s eight caquelons) for about 40 group members. Certainly an experience … from shopping, over preparation, to the dinner itself :)
