Sorry to sound Tweatish, but I've had about 4 hours sleep in the past 40 (I can't sleep on planes even with chemical assistance). I loved Lisbon, and the people who invited and paid for me to go were amazingly hospitable. I had a great time. One of the hapless audients has blogged it here but it is simply false when he says I resemble my avatar. I'm much really a little thinner.
There's still no sign of my talk online at Ciências Viva, or the short interview they did with me (I got overenthusiastic), but I'll link to it when I know.
Again I thank the amazing Nathalie Gontier, and the departments that invited me.
