Repost from Jan 2025: Morning exercise routines, and the hike at the wild coast.

Repost from July 2024: Plantings underground in Naples.

Here we see the Inner Tracker of the @atlasexperiment.bsky.social (ATLAS ITk).

This new all-silicon inner detector of the ATLAS experiment at CERN replaces the previous one to cope with the higher luminosity of the #HiLumiLHC – the successor to CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

My friend Tony Pritchard put together a video for a song from an album I released with Eschatone Records in New York a while back.
