This fall I am spending a month at the University of Vienna as the Schrodinger Visiting Professor.

Here is some info, and one of the lectures.

Edit: I am posting the lectures here.

Here is the man himself in the grand arcade of the University’s main building.

In August, I participated in a very nice conference on quantum gravity

This was nicely curated, and had many interesting folks there. Good physics!

Also earlier in the summer was a conference on Relativistic Quantum Information

I was a bit of a “fish out of water” there, as it was more quantum information, but it also was intellectually stimulating and quite nice.
