Away for some while. Mostly spending the time that I allocated to blogging for my Italian blog on Galileo. I am writing from North Hatley, a tiny village in Quebec, on the lake Massawippi. What a masterpiece of nature.
Last week I was visiting the University of Sherbrooke, Quebec, where I also gave a seminar, on Friday. The department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Biology is stunning, efficient, and there is great research being done here. Top class, indeed. They asked me to give the first seminar of a full-day event in which the research of the Department was presented by its MSc and PhD students.
I left abundant time for discussion at the end of my talk and there were several nice questions. The fact that struck me most is that I found answers to those questions, two of them in fact, via things that I have done through my podcast in the past several months. I referred to two interviews that I had conducted myself, and borrowed the words of the interviewees to make my point. It’s rather remarkable how useful these blogging and podcasting activities can be some times.
