The time has come again to leave home and IPMU for several weeks and temporarily embrace a more nomadic life form. Just as when I first started writing for the Quantum Diaries, I am “on tour” again, traveling from one conference or research institution to the next. As some put it, it’s the traveling circus.
Our first stop was the XVI. European Workshop on String Theory, held in the Real Jardin Botanico in Madrid. A beautiful location and an exciting city! Both I and my husband gave short talks. Unfortunately, the weather fell somewhat short of the expectations one has for Spain in June, but we had at least one nice day to take some pictures ;-). Overall, the meeting and the week in Madrid were a good start for our tour! It’s always good to meet colleagues again that I have not seen in months and hear about the newest developments. Next week, I’ll be back at CERN again.
