   Ok, it's official now: I'm going to give a talk about satellite pollution at a UN (!!) workshop.

   I have very mixed feelings about this! It's 100% in person, which is SO much stupid travel pollution (in order to try to stop so much stupid satellite pollution, ugh). But it's in Milan!! I've never even thought about going to Milan, it's just so fancy and out of reach. So... wow.

     What are things an uncultured north american person who loves food and doesn't speak any Italian at all should definitely see/eat while in Milan? (I'll be there in October)

     (And what do I wear to a UN workshop??? Ugh I wish there was a scientist uniform I could wear everywhere)

     @sundogplanets Be aware that Italian coffee is STRONG: if you drink it as if it were American coffee you will not be able to sleep for a week. Beyond that there is nothing to worry about, Italian food is simply the best.

     Well, Espresso has a lower caffeine level than a normal pour-over from the same amount of grinds. :-)
