Taking a break from the parisian “grisaille”, I am currently visiting KIPAC and Stanford U. for a month. These two institutions, among other things, play a major role in the Fermi satellite collaboration, currently collecting very interesting data on high energy astrophysical phenomena.

There’s an incredible concentration of activities in Particle Astrophysics between SLAC and the Stanford U., and three weeks from now the 5th edition of the TeVPA’09 conference will take place right here.
