New building!!

Today the fantastic four (i.e. Jeff, Cheryl, Dave, and me) took a tour of our brand new lab facilities. Here is a picture of us on the Bridge to Science; please note the similarity to the real Fantastic Four.


Here is our new group room, which is adjacent to Erik's office. The facilities people showed us how the windows (shown in the reflection) open completely and how there is virtually no guard railing in place. We inquired as to whether they could also install a step stool for your jumping convenience.


The new desks are very large, and there is lots of storage space. There are also locking drawers for your various private / embarrassing / incriminating items.



The new hoods are very spacious (we spared no expense!), and the bench space looks great. The lab also has a very open feel that reflects the close-knit, happy family that we are (or will become).


Finally, this is the dark and creepy portion of the lab that will house underachievers and group malcontents. In an attempt to secure extra funding, we will also be hosting some local prisoners in this section of the lab. Jeff will be sending out guard duty assignments in the coming weeks.



Think of these brand new labs as a reward for all of your hard work. Who says that dreams don't come true?
