- "Theoretical #physicists are boring and do no interact with people". No way! Every year we meet all together to enjoy our annual #InstituteLorentz #outing organized by the secretaries and volunteers. This year, we enjoyed a fantastic #bbq on the #beach.
How to beat the heat? Our secretaries know the recipe:ice tea and fruits with water! We are always grateful! #hitte

Don't forget you can watch the unboxing of the acquired #Horndeski's painting in the instagram account of our Institute at @lorentz_inst
Artist Gregory Horndeski didn't realize he had written a brilliant gravity paper, until a cosmologist asked for one of his paintings, 35 years later. Recently, LION acquired one of Horndeski's paintings (shown here with cosmologist Alessandra Silvestri) universiteitleiden.nl/en/new…
Tomorrow 18th June, Prof. Seth Lloyd from @MIT will continue his series of lectures at De Sitterzaal from 14:00-16:00. The topic: Building quantum computers. #lorentzprofessor #lorentzchair

¡Hoy es el gran día! Último programa de la temporada de @orbitalaika_tve y salgo yo 😱Estoy tan emocionada que hasta estoy preparando un hilo sobre #ComputaciónCuántica: mi primer hilo de twitter! ¡Hay tanto que contar! Lo publicaré cuando termine el programa: #ÓrbitaLaikaFuturo
