Trento, Italia
I was invited to Axions at the Crossroads: QCD, Dark Matter, Astrophysics at ECT*, the European Center for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas in Trento, Italy. It was a productive, educational workshop and Trento itself is beautiful and full of interesting history. We ate an absurd amount of carbs—the most delicious pizza I had included gorgonzola, pears, and thinly-cut strips of lard.
