The conference "Planet Formation and Evolution 2012" will be held from September 3 - 7, 2012 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich. More information can be found at

I was annoyed by the fact that you can publicly share files, but not folders with Dropbox, so I created a python script, which creates a directory listing for the folder, which can then be shared and gives access to all the files within the folder. If anyone else finds this useful, it can be downloaded here.

After 3.8 years at the MPIA, I am now starting at a new postdoc position in Munich. I will be working in the Group of Barbara Ercolano at the Universe Cluster and at the University Observatory Munich. I'm very much looking forward to collaborating with the people here and also to discovering the city. If you have any suggestions where to go or what to see - let me know!
