A wonderful and exciting week in Trento is coming to and end. We talked all things superfluid from neutron stars to helium and cold-atom system. Bringing together theorists and experimentslists. Always great to be back in the old villa with an awesome view of the mountains.

Finally had some time yesterday to build a little book nook I got for Christmas. Such a wonderful present.

Glasgow has been showing its pretty (and surprisingly dry) side these past few days. Spent two days at the 2025 meeting for the UK Quantum Technology for Fundamental Physics (QTFP) community. Way out of my comfort zone 😅 but I learnt a lot about some really cool quantum science.

Best thing to do on a gray, rainy day ... look at some wonderful space-related art in St Albans cathedral. Museum of the Moon by Luke Jerram.

A bit of Sunday live sports entertainment at Twickenham #ENGJPN. The main reason my significant other is happy that we are back in the UK 😄.

A little (or rather big 😄) personal update: I was recently awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship and today was my first day at Royal Holloway, University of London. Seeing that sign on my new office door felt like such a massive achievement. Here's to more exciting neutron star science 🥳.

Spent a productive week in Tübingen where I did my undergraduate and master's degree. The weather was terrible but I haven't been back since I left in 2012 and I am feeling very nostalgic. This place was home for almost 6 years and I had forgotten how much I like it here.
