30. 5. 2009 :::: Research trip to Litmanová, the site of Marian apparitions (Eastern Slovakia, April 3-6, 2009)
In April 2009, I and my colleague Jan Paleček visited Litmanová in Eastern Slovakia. Near Litmanová, since 1990, two young girls had been having apparitions of Virgin Mary for subsequent five years; the Greek-Catholic church declared Litmanova as official Marian pilgrimage site. We worked on a case study of these apparitions and all what followed, whithin our research project on apparitions and demonic possessions as practical religious achievements.

25. 2. 2009 :::: Oosterscheldekering - Dutch water works (September 20, 2008)
During the 4S/EASST conference in Rotterdam, I used the opportunity and participated in a guided tour to the Dutch water works, to its most interesting parts. We were guided by Wiebe Bijker, renowned STS scholar, who has extensively written about this huge technological artifact. Information about this part of the barriers can be found, e.g., here; and here you can look at this place from the air. Pictures taken by ZK, Sony DSC-F717.
