Just returned from a week in Bucharest at the ‘ATLAS Exotics and SUSY Joint Workshop’, which took place at the Ministry of Culture and had its conference dinner at the slightly oversized Palace of Parliament, depicted above. The latter holds some interesting records, e.g. as the world’s largest civilian building with an administrative function, the world’s most expensive administrative building and the world’s heaviest building!?
Anyways … the workshop was nice, the dinner was nice, my talk was nice ;) and Buchrest certainly interesting … which reminds me of an equally interesting article on Bucharest I read this week.
Beam’s back

Yesterday, ATLAS recorded the first beam-splash events of the year!
First signs of this year’s physics programme … looking forward!

MarchForScience

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).
RaspuinoDart v0.1
I recently finished the first steps of my little Arduino-Raspberry-Dart project called RaspuinoDart. Once I added the data-base backend it will appear on Github and more features will appear slowly after (hopefully).
