Trapped!

Since returning from Pohang last Monday, I have not yet escaped the lab except for a brief trip to a bakery. The whole weekend was taken up with running an experiment (till 3am on Sat and midnight on Sun). The results were almost completely useless, but nothing is ever without a positive side, and this weekend I watched about 10 episodes of Red Dwarf on youtube. Great! My laboratory habitat is shown below. The office and lab are as one, and my desk is the one on the right with the blue chair. No-one else is in at this point, but several members of the group showed up on Sunday night, working until at least midnight. They didn't even have experiments to run! It's crazy and, I believe, wrong. Also shown is the equipment that I am using. It is a Physical Properties Measurement System, an extremely user-friendly cryogenic apparatus. A marked change from the Big Fridge in Cambridge!





And here is my dinner on Saturday night: cold baguette pizza. Actually, it was very nice and deserves a photo.



In fact, I got so bored on Saturday that I started taking pictures of myself in the lab (below). And to make it worse, I was wearing my Nature Physics T-shirt. How utterly tragic! Need my hair-cut, but I might just leave it and see what happens.
