I went to every talk, and even the call of grant writing did not convince me to bail and sit in my hotel room tapping away at the keyboard on "Section C" (although I stayed up until 1 every night doing that after the sessions). <br /><br />As for Kavli - I think it is an excellent idea (although I understand the politics can be complex) and I believe the idea of an institute in Oz has been floated, but I don't know how far it has gone. Mind you, we have more than a few billionaires in Australia, and supporting a cool institute in cosmology would be great (and potentially tax deductible). I'd be happy to be the director :)Cusphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12515740423567038683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9163501679982013672.post-81311621180017431322012-02-22T06:08:28.275+11:002012-02-22T06:08:28.275+11:00The best conference ever?

Good to know the talks are online though, I'm listening to Chuck Keeton's at the moment.<br /><br />Wasn't there some talk of a Kavli Institute in Australia a few years back?Brendon J.
