Back after a long pause

After a looooong time away for several different reasons (and yes, I must admit that I left the blog resting aside for a while), it's time to come back. To feel less guilt, a short review of some of the stuff that happened in the last 2 months and a half :-)

1. I've traveled to the US for a couple of conferences: "A Decade of Dark Energy" at the STScI, and "21 cm Cosmology" at the CfA, Harvard. Moreover, I had the chance to meet again, in the same week (!), two old friends I haven't seen since I left Trieste: Thomas Sotiriou, who is now a postdoc in the University of Maryland, in a short visit to DC, and Marcos Valdes, who was attending the 21 cm conference. By the way, both conferences have recorded the seminars, and they are available as webcasts (DE & 21).
   
   
   



2. I finally got a MacBook!! All I can say is that now I DO understand why so many people are crazy about them. Absolutely fantastic!!
   
   




3. I became 30...
   
   



4. We're still fighting with numerical issues of our MaVaN paper, but it seems that now things are converging (literally!), and it should appear on arXiv in the next weeks.
   
   



5. To keep it short, a last thing is that we are organizing in Valencia a school on neutrino physics, "Probing the Universe with Neutrinos". More on that soon.
   
   
6. etc, etc...
   

That's it for the moment. :-)
