Dr. Nick AttreeVery 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]..
..footprint of our profession. I was unable to avoid flying for this trip, but I am excited to have replaced several ✈️ with 🚅!! First to Madrid (rather than an internal flight), then across northern 🇮🇹 and the 🇫🇷 riviera. Looking forward to some very scenic train rides. Photos to follow.. 🙂
First leg: #Renfe AVE to Madrid, through an uncharacteristically rainy and grey #Andalucia. My first time on Spanish high speed trains
Arrived in #Venice after my flight from Madrid. Yep.. definitely Venice!
So, day one of the #Rosetta #DustMeeting. Venue is the Marine science institute inside the #Venice #Arsenale (appreciated as an arsenal fan!).
I will be presenting my work on #67P thermophysical modelling after the fist coffee break
(Forgot the #PlanetSci ☄️🔭)
Presentation done! Some very interesting questions.
Next talk Marco Fulle, who's model I just addressed! 😬
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!
Evening reception and a conceptual art performance "the soul of a #comet" organised by Stavro! #Rosetta #DustWorkshop. More #PlanetaryScience meetings should have some #SciArt!

Day 2 of the #Rosetta #DustWorkshop. Following yesterday's pattern of starting with observations 🔭, followed by modelling 💻 and then laboratory work 🧪
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!
And that's a wrap for the #DustWorkshop! Another interesting day of discussion, Followed by a visit to the Doge's palace #Venice
Looks pretty fair. Might lay a scene. Couple of households here, looked about the same in dignity
Changing at the impressive #Milano Centrale for a long slow intercity #train 🚄 to the border town of Ventimiglia
Definitely not going on any boat trips here! (Just finished watching #Ripley before this trip) #Sanremo
The next step was an SNCF local #train across the border 🇫🇷 made it to #Nice where it's pouring down!
A weekend in #Nice. Some work, a bit of sightseeing. Thanks @ericlagadec.bsky.social, for showing me some views!
Looking forward to visiting the Observatoire tomorrow and giving a talk!
Working up here at the Obervatoire de la Côte d'Azur, #Nice today and gave a talk on #Comet activity modelling this morning #PlanetSci.
Thanks to everyone who came and thanks very much to @harrisonagrusa.bsky.social for hosting me!
Traveling again! Waiting for the 🚄 with a 🥐 (🔭 visible in background). I'm popping over to #Marseille for the day to see old colleagues at #LAM. Also to give a talk, and have web meetings with other colleagues and a #CometInterceptor instrument meeting. Phew, it's gonna be a busy day!
It was indeed a busy day! But we had time for a delicious lunch in between some very fruitful meetings. Great to see some old friends at #LAM again. #Liberté #Egalité #Marseillais 😅🇫🇷
Incredibly dramatic lighting from the #train on the way back!
Back in #Nice and working up at the #Obervatoire again today. Why not, with a view like this! Thanks @harrisonagrusa.bsky.social and @spacemarschall.net for the loan of the office!
