A Quantum Diaries Survivor

Although ten short meaningless posts won’t outvalue a longer thoughtful one, for today I stick with the former. So let me just paste here a link to a post about me at sci.bzaar.net, the site of a workshop I will attend virtually next week.

In a few days I plan to provide the site owner, Gianandrea Giacoma, with a couple of short videos where I discuss some limits of blogs in the context of scientific outreach. If I am not too lazy I will produce an English version of those (the event is for an italian audience).

Since I am temporarily hampered in my typing ability because of a bulky bandage on my left hand, this morning I thought I’d post a few pictures from last weekend’s vacation on Achensee, a pleasant alpine lake in Austria.

Here Filippo (left) and Ilaria (right) are pirates relaxing on their ship with their colleagues Achille and Olga.

A closeup of Ilaria.

And to be democratic, a picture of Filippo.

What is the name of these funny, beautiful flowers ?

The indoor pool of our hotel, where we spent the better part of our afternoon -kids loved it.

Ilaria in the pool.

A bit of the lake towards Maurach.

Filippo studying the dynamics of stones bouncing on the water.

Everybody loved the big jacuzzi.
