Attendees of the 2015 workshop in Heidelberg.

After collecting everyone on Saturday afternoon we assembled at Santiago's house for an amazing pizza and brownie dinner. Sunday we got up early to take the funicular to the castle gardens and Königstuhl. We took the train to Neckargemünd exploring the town and sitting on the riverbank feeding the swans. Dinner was at Vetter's, where we met Isabelle who's four weeks from having her baby!

On Monday we toured the MPIA, and massive thanks to everyone who showed us around. In the afternoon Roland gave us a very warm introduction to out talks. It always amazed me to hear what everyone is up to - some great progress on everything since last year! Thanks to Thomas for dropping in to say hello to everyone and listen to some of the talks. For me the best bit was the closing debate, where we found out about exciting possibilities within instrumentation. Again massive thanks to the MPIA for our free lunch and coffee.
