My body actually stroke me again. I was offline yesterday as I needed to rest to recover from the long journey back from Boston (I got flight delays of all kinds). Now I am back at the office and slowly catch up with everything. It is however very unlikely I will post anything this week... I will however try (the next posts are far from being ready)!
Your visit to MIT reinforces the idea that online communication is great, but not a substitute for physical interaction. It is wonderful you were able to discuss matters close to your field of expertise with another colleague. Remaining open to the unexpected (a particle physicist should be good at this😀) may lead to new ideas, new creative approaches.
I fully agree. Meeting people in reality has a great advantage and allows us to produce much more and advance much faster. I however won't be able to travel as much as I used to do. I don't have those strengths anymore, and I want to spend more time with the family. I guess the planet and the family will be happier with this decision ;)
Cheers!
