“Honestly, if I see another skinny-jeans-wearing, thick-rimmed-bespectacled, Apple-worshiping, indie-band-listening, pseudo-skeptic demi-postmodern jello-intellectual hipster again, I’m going to totally stop getting my skinny latte half-foam Fair Trade soy mocha frappuccino from this place.”

Hi everyone,

I have a new short story published on Lablit.com. It’s called Murder, it wrote (no spoilers!) and you can read it here. This is my 16th fiction contribution to the website – you can find my other Lablit stuff here.

A couple of weeks ago, EPFL held an international conference called Fusion Day to discuss fusion as the future of the planet’s energy. You can now read my report here.

And if you’re more inclined towards physics, here is a brief article on optomechanics.

Enjoy!
