On my trips I carry envelopes with me: sometimes they represent 1, sometimes 2 or 3 lectures. Leading up to the call from Stockholm on 5 Oct 16, I’d given 16 lectures: for the rest of 2016 it was 16 and then for 2017, 2018 & 2019, it was 66, 70 & 69, resp plus interviews and Q&As

Arrived yesterday (Saturday) afternoon in Kyoto to attend my first STS Forum. Today (Sunday) begins with a Breakfast Gathering with the Japanese Prime Minister, Mr Shinzo Abe. It’s quite remarkable how political leaders in the Asian countries can find time to meet with scientists
