In a Villa in Tuscany…
April 17, 2025
As I write this (10:30 on a Thursday night in California, 7:30 on a Friday morning in Italy) Peter’s probably just waking up. Not sure what he’ll be doing today, but it’ll probably involve math. And hopefully some great Italian food and camaraderie.
The photo above is a screen shot of the end of a short video Peter sent to Maya, footage courtesy of a drone that started with the shot below… (also a screen shot from the same video), and then soared high above the group and villa and countryside. I imagine the woman in front is operating the drone.
Surmising this is the entirety of the gathered scholars..14 doctoral students and 8-ish professors? Look forward to hearing whatever stories Peter is willing to share about this group and the work they did this week.
Until then… I’m so pleased he got this opportunity and relieved that passport came through in the nick of time!
