Back from Europe


I'm back from Germany and Austria, having presented the newest images from our microscope...

....the view from my table at Airbrau, Munich airport, as I waited for my luggage to catch up with me (lunch courtesy of Lufthansa)...
(The incident was to repeat itself upon my return to NYC, but then it wasn't so bad -- in fact it's quite nice not to have to "schlep", as they say there, another bag through the subway..)

..the spire of Ulm Münster, amazingly the tallest cathedral in the world. I walked here the morning I was to speak at the "High Performance Fluorescence Imaging in the Life Sciences" conference... then I walked back. It was a brisk morning, and Ulm seems like a good little town. I suppose little Albert saw this sight more than once...

...Stephansplatz in Vienna, normally full of tourists, on my way to Café Hawelka (a dank, musty alternative to the traditional bright & snappy Vienna coffeehouse)

...a busy resident of Schloss Schönbrunn, Vienna. Her remote ancestors probably enjoyed the scraps from the Emperor's table. That's probably more than some peasants got.
