A group of men (yes, I very much need to improve the gender balance!) sit around laptops in a meeting room.

View of a distant church tower down a busy but pretty street lit by the evening light.

Wooden interior of a traditional Austrian restaurant.

Candlelit table with plates of more hearty Austrian food.

Well I think that went well!
Presented at the #Rosetta #DustWorkshop, hosted a thermal modelling spinoff meeting, and even persuaded everyone to select #Granada for the next meeting!
So I will be running a #PlanetaryScience workshop this time next year. (Assuming I am still employed!)

Montage of various plates of hearty looking Austrian food on a table.

A small red car sits inside a restaurant.

Lots of people sit at three large tables in a traditional looking Austrian restaurant.

Nighttime view of a river, church tower, and distant castle on a hill .

Final day of the #Rosetta #DustWorkshop. Very nice social dinner (and drinks) last night, but today is going to be a struggle!
I will be presenting my #67P thermal modelling results just before lunch, and then leading a spinoff discussion this afternoon - hopefully I can stay awake!

Small white 3D printed model of comet 67p, looking vaguely like a rubber duck, sits on a table.

A group of people in a laboratory as one shows off various instruments.

A beer and a pan full of hearty looking Austrian food.

A night time view of a lit castle on a hill above a river.

More pics from day one of the #DustWorkshop. In which I learned of the existence of Hydrodium, saw the lab, acquired a new mini #comet #67P, and am now back in the hotel watching #Arsenal 🙂

Ornate town hall building under a blue sky.

Grey modern building with very distant views of snowy mountains behind.

A man walks down some steps in a modern open plan building. A model space station hangs from the ceiling.

People sit and watch a presentation slide saying 12th dust workshop.

Day one of the 12th #DustWorkshop at the space research institute of the Austrian Academy of Science in #Graz #PlanetaryScience. This meeting developed from the #Rosetta mission 🛰️ but now continues with #comet and space dust in general ☄️

White column arcades and church towers and dome, surrounding a polished stone courtyard

View of a distant domed church on an island across the blue water through the columned arcades and modern windows of the doge's palace

Comet scientists gaze and take pictures while walking down a columned arcade in the sun

An incredibly elaborate painted and golden ceiling and walls in a large room inside the palace

And that's a wrap for the #DustWorkshop! Another interesting day of discussion, Followed by a visit to the Doge's palace #Venice

A man stands to give a speech while others sit at long dinner tables. A lathe door is painted with steps which makes it look a bit like a garage door

Nighttime view of a canal with boats and a large domed church behind

It's day 3 of the #Rosetta #DustWorkshop. Broke the thread earlier, whoops.
🔭 Followed by 💻 today, I think we've run out of 🧪!
We also had a delicious and eco friendly conference dinner last night!

Coffee and a muffin Infront of a dockyard

Sculpture of raised hands below a blue sky

Much needed coffee break in the sun. Knackered already on day 2 #Rosetya #DustWorkshop 😅
We will finish the day with a round table discussion and talk about missions. Very intriguing...

Day 2 of the #Rosetta #DustWorkshop. Following yesterday's pattern of starting with observations 🔭, followed by modelling 💻 and then laboratory work 🧪

A glass of prosecco held up Infront of a quayside with boatyards, crane and distant Venetian skyline. The evening sun is setting leaving the blue sky a lovely orangey/pink glow at the horizon.

Printed pages saying "when we are together we make better science".

Hard to describe! Some people hold up blue and grey balloons forming two tails streaming out from a 'comet'.

One man leads another in some dance moves Infront of a watching audience

Evening reception and a conceptual art performance "the soul of a #comet" organised by Stavro! #Rosetta #DustWorkshop. More #PlanetaryScience meetings should have some #SciArt!

Phewph, lots of interesting discussions over lunch, and now an afternoon full of presentations of the Braunschweig #CoPhyLab comet ☄️ physics laboratory project 🧪. It's gonna be a tiring day at the #Rosetta #DustWorkshop!

Very excited to be off travelling for a couple of weeks starting today. Firstly to #Venice 🇮🇹 for the 11th #Rosetta #DustWorkshop, and later to #Nice and #Marseille 🇫🇷 to visit collaborators.
Granada, Venice, Nice...it ain't half bad is it! 😛
Seriously though, I do feel guilty about the carbon [1/2]..
