I am about to take up a position at the level assistant professor at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, or IMPAN as it is known. The position is in Warsaw.
I will be working in the Department of Mathematical Physics and Differential Geometry, which is lead by Prof. J. Grabowski.
I will make sure I regularly blog about my adventures in Poland.
Any place that has a pentakis dodecahedron as their symbol for the 60th anniversary has got to be good.

At first glance they look like equilateral triangles – but they cannot be cos that would form an icosahedron, they are isoceles. Each point where 5 triangle meet can be considered as the vertex of an icosahedron, and each point where 6 meet the centre of the face of an icosahedron. 2 + 90 edges = 60 faces + 32 vertices. Gotta love regular solids
Well, congrats!
Warsaw is very cold. Best of luck in your new post. I will miss you being there in South Wales . Mike
Congrats :).
