… has been quite fun recently!
It was about time my advanced geocaching equipment really got used this summer.
And there is more planned in the near future :)

South Tyrol
Summer time, holiday time … this time South Tyrol, with a nice mixture of mountains, rivers, lakes, castles, climbing, funiculars, geocaching, cows, llamas ?!, hiking, relaxing and more. A couple of days on a farm close to Olang and the rest on a campsite in Tisens. Certainly some very nice spots in the area, I guess we’ll be back once the kids are more mobile and have more stamina ;)
Science Night in Garching
Yesterday, I had yet another great Build Your Own Particle Detector outreach event as part of the Science Night in Garching. With the large Atlas Lego model, a little particle physics exhibition and a great team of students from my group at LMU, we managed to talk to hundreds of visitors. And 36 models entering the BYOPD competition (also for the audience award) is not a bad number either :)
Looking forward to the next one … 25 September 2015 at Balexert in Geneva, Switzerland.
Wrapping it up at the George Lamb Show
Last week I had the pleasure to get one minute of private air time on the George Lamb Show to talk about LEGO and the LHC.
Here’s the link to the podcast (itunes) of the show, which actually turned out to be a LHC special, also featuring ATLAS colleague Clara Nellist.
My part starts at about 01:01:30 (ten minutes to the end).
New office decoration
Last week some colleagues (and in some cases their family) helped building yet another one of the large Atlas Lego models. Thanks a lot!
For now it’s a nice decorative addition to my office interior :)
