Just got back from a wonderful visit to the International Space Science Insitute in Bern. A really productive 3 weeks, working with colleagues Maurizio Falanga (also ISSI Director) and Zhaosheng Li, also visiting from Xiangtan U.. Some good discussions about thermonuclear bursts and work with data from China's HXMT-Insight telescope.

Also spent plenty of time working on the beansp code and made some really significant improvements to the code, which hopefully should be reported soon in a paper.

It wasn't all work though and I inadvertently timed my visit to include ISSI's annual dinner at the lovely Bellevue Palace, a wonderful night. I also enjoyed two weekends of glorious (although cold) weather, biking through the Aare and Rhône valleys, and of course all the glorious food. Particular thanks to my ISSI hosts for making me feel at home!
