Today is Sunday; this must be Zurich. Life has been just a little like that recently. A well-attended public lecture and advanced training course in Alexandria, Virginia; the NF Conference in Mexico; the BSC meeting in San Francisco, and now a public lecture, Introductory and Advanced training course in Switzerland, all in less than four […]
