The cosmic rays are feisty today...

I’m running laser power tests, and it’s not often I get told that it’s fine to burn the crap out of a sample with the laser. Trying not to take this as a personal challenge TBH.

Also, I realise a lot of this account seems to be me grumbling. I should probably make some attempt to rectify that...

Today, I am mostly being irritated by cosmic rays.

Iron atoms are being a nuisance to me today.

Curse you, elastic scattering!!

Why's it called hemocyanin? Shouldn't it be called cyanoglobin?

Dear WinSpec,

I hate you.

That is all.

Hey everyone! I have a friend who’s looking for a book which introduces quantum physics. She’s a graphic designer, so she’s looking for one without maths and jargon and stuff. Any recommendations are much appreciated! 😊

My approach to research can be summed up quite simply: I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing, but that doesn’t usually stop me.

"Nasa's Voyager 2 probe leaves the Solar System"

Understandable TBH

Also, I'm probably never going to stop making jokes about the lasers being exciting.

But sunlight is exciting too, right?

Today's dilemma:
I have stuff I need to work on down in the lab, including a new laser to install. But the sky's actually clear today, and I want to enjoy the sunlight while it lasts. I haven't been getting nearly enough light recently.
