The School so far!

The ICTP summer school so far is going fine. Although the first week was a bit boring for me, this week seems pretty exciting. The first week was mainly about structure formations, galaxy clusters, weak lensing, gravitational waves, dark energy etc. This week we are having topics more close to particle physics phenomenology like neutrinos in astrophysics and cosmology, Dark matter, Inflation etc.The lecturers are excellent without any doubt. The crowd here is also amazing with lots of diversity. People from almost every part of the world I can see here. There are lots of participants from India as well, most of whom I had met before in various schools and conferences. And I have found four lecturers of SERC schools also here. It's been a nice time here so far, not feeling like being away from home except for the food may be!
