(Photo) Calendar
trips, events, seminars, observing runs ...
under perpetual construction...
Anywhere I go, whaterver I do, I try to provide photos to/for my
friends and families. Being a somewhat traveling researcher and more
than anything being away from home most of the time (where is home by
the way?), I feel like sharing my experiences.
And if no one ever looks at my pictures, well, it always safe to have
an online backup!
| Important dates: talks, conferences, schools, observations,
outreach,
etc. |
