On their last international trip before the pandemic they got to hangout on the Prime Meridian and sit on Lord Kelvin's desk in Glasgow.
Of course they spent some time in the @ego_virgo control room and checking out the corner station. Met a few more particle physicist at the same time
They brushed up on some gravitational wave science before giving a lecture using Neils Bohr's blackboards at the Neils Bohr Institute thanks to @ianbearden
Along the way they have seen some amazing physics sites first they stood on the arm of GEO600 a 600m gravitational wave detector outside of Hannover
They had a fun few days around the Piazza del Duomo in Pisa. Of course they climbed the Leaning Tower after lunch and had a wonderful tour of the town
Basically I let my kiddos each choose a dino to send with me. The dinos would send back daily reports. My kiddos got to follow their adventures from their first airplane and train rides
They also spent some time admiring this little pond and the amazing Lake Michigan just past the trees.
This week they have had a great trip on the first day of our conference they got to play in the snow on the beautiful Northwestern campus
A couple special colleagues have joined me at our #LVK2023 collaboration meeting. Here they are learning about quantum squeezing.
Today our #LVK2023 meeting gets started with a welcome from Vicky Kalogera and a thank you to the local organizing committee @actualdrdoctor and team have done an amazing job!!
