So ... many things happened during these months. Harvard had its winter break and returned to full speed a few weeks ago. There was a secret conference about Quantum Entanglement in St. John, U.S. Virgin Island while the Nemo storm hit Cambridge, and last week many got jealous in the physics community because a new Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences prize was announced. The award not only pairs to that in physics but it was created and is being partially funded by the Milner Foundation that started last year honoring discoveries in fundamental physics -- even the web pages look alike!
Personally, I had some very productive days and visited the String Theory Group at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill last week where I gave a talk and engaged in very interesting discussions about a new subject I am working on: Black Hole Scattering (click on the title or slides). Please check my upcoming post about the Physics Harvard Puppet Show & fast spinning black holes.
