Between my walks in Bauernbergpark I travel. I was in Berlin another time.
First I met my wannabe taxi driver actor friend, who has moved from London to the German capital.
Then I attended a conference on synthetic biology, life and art at the Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. The most interesting aspect of it all was the Butterbrezel on the flight back.
I didn't know that you can make tiny holes into a Brezel and fill them with butter. I'll never say again that the Germans have no idea of haute cuisine.
The conference was a big success as regards applying an interdisciplinary approach. Maybe it also inspires my own work, although, so far I don't know how.
In the nighttime I read about Plato. It is entertaining but makes me wonder how he was able to influence christian philosophy to such an extent. Maybe I can read about that in a later chapter.
However, due to climate change, winter arrives late this year. That is good for the Bauernbergpark man, who can still stay outside, but bad for winter tourism.
I had another conversation with my PhD supervisor today. It ended in me having no idea what to do and us together having birthday cake and coffee.
To sum up: My new thesis title will be "The Impact of the Butterbrezel on Synthetic Biology", nah...better "Platonic cosmology and the Bauernbergpark man". I don't know.
Maybe I start all over again, reading some Max Weber stuff instead.
Sometimes I wish I had the courage to sit next to the man in Bauernbergpark and drink a bottle of beer with him instead of wondering about my PhD work. Sometimes I wish I had followed another line of work.
Nevertheless yesterday a colleague told me: "We always want to do the opposite of what we are doing at the moment." So I am waiting for the next moment, in which I know that I do exactly the right thing. Here it is. Nice. Bye bye.
