It may seem peculiar that my assignment this morning was to give a lecture at the Faculty of Biology: three hours about science communication in the library where portraits of stern professors from times past looked down at me and the students.

Actually, this was the seed from which my entire visit grew and was planned before I even heard of the Kuća Za Pisce program. (More about this stuff here.)  The individuals involved know how grateful I am for the efforts they made to create this opportunity for me.

Here am I on my way to the lecture. This photo is a great representation of how Belgrade has made me feel: curious, vitalized, young and prepared to be vulnerable.
