Title: Let’s get BUSY

Abstract: In this talk, I will briefly introduce some worldline QFT methods. First and foremost, I will talk about the so called BUSY (bosonic & supersymmetric) particle picture and how it can be used to describe particles of arbitrary spin. Limiting to the spin 1 sector, one recovers Maxwell theory. If there is some time left, I will describe how to introduce color in this picture and recover Yang-Mills theory as well.

Title: “No auntie, I do not have a permanent position, but here are some plots!” – 5 climate related plots to spice up your next family dinner.

Abstract: In this talk, I will present the main findings of the paper “State of the Climate 2024 – Dangerous Times on Planet Earth”, focusing in particular on the most relevant plots to be familiar with.
