Visited Nanjing for the 2026 Workshop on New Physics and Interdisciplinary Sciences. It was a pleasure to discuss physics with new and old friends. I spoke about forthcoming work on the axion quality problem; a nice work to discuss as it has a clear narrative. Nowadays I try to tell a compelling story about our research - why we did it, how we think about the problem, what we found and why it matters - rather than a complete technical exposition of the work.
A personal highlight was a chance to revisit Stone Elephant Road, a path lined with huge stone sculptures of horses, elephants, camels and dragons to guard a mausoleum.
