A separate trip to Cambridge a month before the Harvard CMSA programme began, and the first of five visits to the city in 2024. Five days on AI and fundamental physics in the Bartos Theater, with the poster sessions running in the Media Lab lobby and the evenings on the harbour side of the Charles. The CMSA weeks have their own write-ups.

This page is not finished, and is not meant to be. I add photographs, people and links as I dig them out, so it keeps growing after publication. Why the whole site works this way is on the colophon.
