Had a nice walk through Modane and Forneaux, grabbed some light groceries to make a simple dinner, and am enjoying some rest this evening before the big travel day tomorrow. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/6bf95d45b5ca71c7b4af1a76a9227b1d3a7e1cd3c612813bcf01f96fe52604a1/view

From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was born # OTD in 1910. He established an upper limit on the mass of stable white dwarf stars, and made numerous contributions to astrophysics and relativity. Above the Chandrasekhar Limit – about 1.44 solar masses – stars eventually explode and then collapse into a neutron star or black hole. Photo: Stephen Lewellyn / AIP

On the way back from the underground lab we stopped at this house, which was hugely displaced from further up the mountain by Nazi bombing in World War II. It is a testament to its construction that it fared so well. Because it is tilted, when you walk inside vertigo or motion sickness sets in immediately. Gravity points one way but the eyes tell a different story, and th…

Had an absolutely WONDERFUL visit to the underground laboratory at # Modane today. Our hosts were so gracious in taking lots of time to discuss ideas and problems and entertain questions. I was particularly excited about discussions of open data and data standards, as well as shield design for their germanium counters. # UndergroundScience # Laboratory # Physics # Biology https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/e0538bc8be62cabb50c25fa868bd2482e37684fa92146b446daaec2165503029/view

Really excellent discussions during the first day of the Multidisciplinary Workshop at Laboratoire Souterrain de # Modane . I was particularly obsessed with some of the # underground biology discussions focused on improving sensitivity in studies of the effect of a lack of # radiation on living organisms. I was deeply obsessed with a discussion of # potassium -40 in the g…

The Journey to Modane It was a good trip from Toronto to Modane. Two planes, two trains, and a bus ... and I was standing at the feet of alpine mountains in beautiful Modane. Here are some scenes from the trip. https:// steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/20 23/10/18/the-journey-to-modane/

Good morning (Europe)! I had a good night’s sleep after quite a lengthy and staged trip to # Modane . I am very excited about the multidisciplinary workshop hosted by Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM) today. Modane itself is a beautiful town nestled high in the Alps, and I am excited to see the laboratory, represent @ SNOLAB , and learn from colleagues. https:// lpsc-indico.in2p3.fr/event/336 2/

Arrived in # Modane ! Time for a shower, food, and sleep! The photo is from the last stop before we had to take a bus the rest of the way. Rock slide damaged the tracks beyond this station, but the bus ride was comfy and fast! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/3688f556eb54078f56ca73a8f10817888adfec81cb29cb03e23edea8f75448ca/view

Enjoyed the views coming into the most recent station. Waiting for the first of two regional trains now. Just over 2 hours left in this journey! https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/c9beee4154f1e4a095c7a276d16d4d3009857c560c3be3cae45b1d6edfbdcc74/view

Boarded my TGV bound for Chambery Challes! # train # france I am about halfway through today's travel day. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/741f3b35cfeba3d7370eb0eac5eeba010a81e69be5619b61b521bf45eb2040cb/view

Since I have time to pass before my train, I’ve been watching the airport come alive this early in the morning. It’s quite nice to see the place begin to fill with travelers. I can’t figure out which is more awake right now - this airport or me. My money is on the airport. :-)

Landed in Paris. Short flight, and I did not sleep much... which I expected. This is going to be a loooong day. :-)

Boarded my flight to Paris. Looking forward to a little sleep before landing early tomorrow.

Arrived in NY a little while ago. Had to change terminals and redo security screening ... something I have not missed doing at this airport. :-) Enjoying lunch and catching up on some work before the flight to Paris. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/45cac38770e95b447e18fb01006b55c9cdd38268cca136d20443d3a7ef482449/view

Boarded my flight to New York, and was surprised to have been automatically upgraded at no cost for 1st class. I guess my 17 year boycott of this airline just officially came to an emotional end. https:// steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/20 06/08/12/test-243/

Travelogue: From Sudbury to Modane (and back again) This week will be something of an intense travel exercise. I am off to a 2-day workshop at the Modane Underground Laboratory on the border of France and Italy. To get there, I leave on a flight (today) from Toronto to Paris, connecting through New York. This puts me into Paris in the early morning on Tuesday, leaving me …
