A bureau for experiments?

I had little idea what Vienna had in store for me when I moved here for a PhD from New York’s quieter-than-usual Upper West Side during the pandemic, having impressed myself with an Expedia drone video on YouTube. One of the first people to hear the news was a stranger waiting next to me for take-away near Lincoln Center—probably a musician or a writer, starry-eyed: good for you! Then, like many friends I would come to know in Vienna, I just stayed. Vienna grows on you. And I want to bring one more slice of vibrancy to this city, celebrated as the world’s most livable, now in full bloom for its majestic spring. Praise the season.
