StronGR: beyond Einstein
Saturday, March 9, 2013
Group photo, at a popular Ginginha bar in Rossio, of the workshop “Strong Gravity beyond GR: from theory to observations” held at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon, from 5-8 March 2013. Funny detail: the person on the bottom left, the lady at the center and the two guys on the right are just passers-by who joined the photo for the sake of it, without even paying the workshop fee!
