This guy, arguably the most handsome cat I have ever seen, was trusted to me a year ago by @madridfelina. Despite his beauty, his age and some bad habits made him not easy to adopt. I am glad to announce that now Capuchino has found a family for good. It’s bittersweet but he is going to be in great hands! #Caturday #catladylife taken in Madrid, Spain by @francesvidotto

This #LoopyTuesday it was a pleasure to be part of the thesis committee of Marta Pedroni, who analyzed in her PhD singularity resolution in Loop Quantum Gravity from a philosophical perspective. It was also the occasion to discuss with the Geneva group of philosophy of physics: I made a presentation about how to think of infinities in physics. taken in Boulevard des Philosophes by @francesvidotto

After two weeks of amazing lectures on loop quantum gravity and quantum information, our #WOST School in Les Houches comes to an end. What a community! Kudos to the lecturers and to the students, who brought a dreamy amount of wit, creativity and kindness to it. https://withoutspacetime.org/meetings/les-houches-school/ taken in École de physique des Houches by @francesvidotto

It’s #LoopyTuesday and we opened the 21st year of the International Loop Quantum Gravity Seminars. You can access old and new seminars now from the website of the International Society on LQG: www.islqg.com/ilqgs

I had the honor to inaugurate the new season! I got to talk about PHH remnants as dark matter but also as a way to get reheating on the early universe. You find the slides (and soon also the video) here: https://zenodo.org/records/22642061 taken in École de physique des Houches by @francesvidotto

Another #Caturday in the had life of a cat lady. Traveling across Spain, I met several colonies. Spain has a law to protect colony cats, assuring the right of cats to live free and still be cared for by the community. Importantly, the law set that local administrations should allocate money to care for the cats, but too often the weight still stands on the shoulders of associations and individuals, putting good willing people in a paralyzed situation, so that they cannot help cats in need because it’s the duty of institutions, but institutions do not intervene… In the pics you can see the little red cat with an eye veterinary emergency that I could not help. You also find the call for a demonstration next week calling local administrations to comply with the law. by @francesvidotto

This #Caturday is with Balearic cats. I spent most of the vacation with the company of cats of a nearby feline colony. Cats are social animal, it’s amazing to see social dynamics among them. Cat colonies need support and protection. Please be responsible with pets, fight abandonment and always spay them, for their own well being. #catrescue #catcolony #balearicisland by @francesvidotto
