Today is slam time in Berlin … my first one … quite excited!
19h00 at Urania Berlin (link).
Back from the slam … second of six :) … it was an interesting and entertaining night, though I didn’t see much as I had to wait outside for all others to finish before me … anyways, there might be another slam coming up some time next year …
Apparently there will be recordings of the event on youtube at some point … I’ll keep you updated!
I just ordered 2000 Euro worth in LEGO® pieces!
Quite a nice feeling, I have to admit! Those who follow this blog will know that it’s my most recently spare time project … an 1:50 ATLAS LEGO® model!
Unfortunately LEGO® was not willing to support me in this project so I had to manage it with the help of the HEP group at NBI alone.
Finally in Athens!
After flying from Copenhagen to Frankfurt on Sunday, driving to Strasbourg with a rental car, spending two days at C.N.R.S. to look at CMOS sensors, driving by to Frankfurt by car and taking a flight from there to Athens, I know finally arrived at the Danish Institute in town.
To be a bit more precise, I went to Strasbourg to discuss a possible new project to get involved in and to have a look at CMOS detectors they build at C.N.R.S. that we wanna use in the experiment.
And now I am in Athens for about a week for a SMP (stable massive particles) sit-in!
On the plane to Athens I met Cédric a swiss pilot working for Aegean Airlines (greetz) and his lovely colleague who’s name I unfortunately forgot who recommended a few places in town that we might check out during the week …
Btw. the picture shows part of the Acropolis as seen from my balcony when I arrived in our apartment (about now)!
For those of you who can read German: the place shown in this article is exactly where I left the subway yesterday … quite a surprise!
Clouds made with particle beams: atmosphere and particle physics meet in the lab!
My new publication of the month might actually something I might get into touch with sooner or later …
