This is a very dark day for me. My wife, and companion for the last 20 years, mother of my son, passed away.
She fought hard, but cancer won.
Godspeed my love. See you in the other side.

It was a thrill to participate in the @IndSciFest with @Chit_chet_
Thanks to the organizers and the volunteers who enabled this wonderful experience.
The #CERN70 celebrations continue 🥳
This #PhotoOfTheWeek brings you to CERN’s 70th anniversary celebrated at India Science Festival held in Pune, Maharashtra, on 11 and 12 January.
The festival included CERN Media Lab installations, talks from CERN’s education and outreach specialists, and a workshop on enhancing science communication through improv skills.

It was a lot warmer than Geneva, and served with plenty of spice!
This year @Chit_chet_ and I brought some cool-isions to @IndSciFest , where the @CERN stand was one of the highlights. Demos, a couple talks, and an Improv workshop plus many interesting discussions.

Ramping-up to provide some cool-isions at the @IndSciFest in January! With my colleague @Chit_chet_ we will prepare a very dynamic @CERN exhibit, plus give a workshop on Improv Theatre for Science Communication, and a couple talks.
May All The Forces be with You!

It was an honor to help organize yesterday's celebration of the 70 years of #CERN which was attended by dozens of world leaders, heads of state, and imminent figures of the world of politics and science. A tribute to a rich history of scientific achievements and uniting peoples.

At the CERN MediaLab, Unity has been one of the main tools with which we built a plethora of educational experiences and exhibitions. But dealing with their TOS has been difficult since a few years ago. Their last change in policy is even dangerous.
We will be reducing its usage.
We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical feedback.

It will be a great pleasure to participate again in the Lahore Science Mela, one of the most incredible grassroots Science Communication events I have ever seen. And, of course, to meet again many friends, incredibly dedicated researchers, teachers and students. Plus the food...

Replace"SPAM" by "WHEAT", and this scene accurately describes the experience of gluten intolerant people at restaurants in France. Up to John Cleese's final tidbit.

It will be a pleasure to host and discuss with Rasheedah. Welcome!

Rasheedah Phillips/ Black Quantum Futurism landed today in Geneva for her residency @artsatCERN - they will work on their proposal entitled “CPT Symmetry and Violations” (CPT symmetry stands for charge, parity, and time reversal symmetry) in dialogue with physicists at @CERN

An interesting idea which could be explored. 3rd generation blockchains protocols like Cardano have all the tools which could power a 21st century scientific journal. Even governance mechanisms, suitable for peer review of papers.
