Not so live from Kashiwa anymore


So the great live blogging experiment hit a couple of predictable roadblocks this afternoon. First, of course, I had to give my own talk, and then I got distracted by a very interesting talk about the Cygnus Loop, and then another interesting discussion about Super-Chandrasekhar-mass Type Ia supernovae. Tomorrow morning I’m chairing the session, so that’s probably not a good time to be doing other things... Ah well. This is the way of experiments...

Had a lovely dinner with the overseas visitors at Ken’s apartment in Kashiwa with some lively conversation, and also had a nice chat earlier with Sergei Blinnikov. All in all a good day. Indeed, this trip has been a nice reminder that it would be nice to get back to being a scientist. I should try and make that happen somehow.
