Looking for an extended leave/sabbatical in a French medieval village?

As many of you know, we have a beautiful 600 year old manor house in the small hamlet of Noyers-sur-Serein in Burgundy, France - around 2 hours from Paris by car or train and 1 hour from Dijon.

This village of 500 people is one of France's finest, and it is full of artists and artisans, every house in the walled town is medieval, the pace of life is exactly what you would seek to get away to a calm, quiet place to reboot and recharge - a perfect place for a sabbatical leave, an artist residency, somewhere to unwind and feel creative again.

We have fixed everything up to rent it out to anyone looking for this type of getaway. It's an amazing place both in summer, by the pool, or in winter in front of the three open fire places!

Keep this magical place in mind for your next extended vacation/sabbatical leave and contact me for information. One month or ore preferrred, but shorter stays are also possible.

Today’s shoulders day workout lasted the whole day! I usually deflate faster than that!

Bed time! Gym time at 5:30 again. Xo

Today was so nice to spend with Frank van Kuppeveld. He is in Singapore for a few days presenting his work at our Institute and at NUS. Alarms will start working again together on various topics around the picornavirus research.

@silvirouskin Absolutely book two tickets! Dads in EDM mega clubs always trump nerd seminars. You’re young enough to present improv slides hung over. Just take a nap on the wheelchair accessible bathroom floor immediately before your talk. I guarantee this works!

I have great colleagues with whom I share this recognition. Most importantly, my current institute is where my most impactful science is being done, and where my ideas transform into real public health outcomes.

Finally a move in the right direction. The extreme waste of time that is modern grant writing and reviewing, and the massive excess of administrative money lost in shuffling paperwork and reports back and forth…I see it first hand. Science funding has become a career for too many and just an outdated and strained business model. At least these few researchers can now do actual science for a nice stretch of time. 👏

China has selected its first group of young researchers to receive funding for up to 15 years, in one of the longest research grants on offer to scientists globally

@triboelectric big arms!!! 👏

Full body workout today goes boom!
It’s true what they say. No fast transformations are real. I’ve been working out 5 times a week for 30 years now. And more seriously now for the last 10, prioritizing it and with focused diet and sleep.
Each year seems I get more into it than the previous one. Still really enjoying it. Join in, if you can. It’s worth it!

@C8RISTOS That’s what it is! The crispness makes them look so fulfilling. Gonna try it

Coming soon! My colleague and friend Frank van Kuppeveld will give a seminar at ASTAR on his current work in enterovirus research.

Thursday at 10am.

And Friday at Noon at NUS!

No surprise here! This company is notorious for trying to greenwash all their operations and pay to appear more ecological. At least 30 years of greenwashing!

This morning. Arms workout. Followed by research facility meetings for next year’s projects.

[VignuzziLab @VignuzziLab]

Despite the toxic haze, we had the best leg workout and then walked down to Sarnies for a fantastic Turkish poached eggs breakfast with grilled Haloumi and Tahini. I’m feeling extra lean and buff! 💪

[VignuzziLab @VignuzziLab]

@TheShreddington 😂 that would lead me to punch through the wall and reach for it from the other side? No other way out.

[VignuzziLab @VignuzziLab]

@TeflonDan56 👏 awesome work!

[VignuzziLab @VignuzziLab]

@Amanresorts How many reservations are you planning to cancel in this one? Anyone else been reading about this hotel chain ? 😂

Another great workout with my personal trainer Adrian Tan. If you want a great trainer, especially one who knows how to workout beyond age 40 (we are both in our 50s), he’s your guy!
