That day when I have to showcase the lecture and a colleague who I know is a) more knowledgable on the topic and b) younger than me decides to attend unexpectingly. I could really use less cortisol in my life :))

It was a pleasure and an honour to moderate the "100 years of quantum physics" event with Nobel prize laureates, Prof. Haroche and Prof. Krausz, that took place this Tuesday in the shelter of Taras Shevchenko University of Kyiv.

Back from a seminar "Incorporating AI into university STEM curriculum", and got so. many. feels.
On one hand it was absolutely amazing to see the main auditorium packed (because u know, covid, then war) and the audience so visibly engaged.
On the other: i really can't stand the technobro vibe.
