Classy workshop is classy

This years' ALMA all-hands meeting is in Lisbon, Portugal. And a very classy affair it is too.


And the workshop freebie... an official Atacama Large Millimetre Array USB fan ! Well I guess it will come in handy in another 7-8 months.... not much use for a fan in Prague in October.


Immediately after this : a school in Grenoble teaching us the wonders of interferometry.
