Excellent video tour. But what I wanna know is what’s up with that 1990-something touchtone desktop phone, man? When you recycle that elderly Dell CPU perhaps donate that to some museum of the “analog/digital transition” generation (which at our similar ages we were both a part of). We are the real “greatest generation” as semi-oldsters like us had to go from rotary phones and am radio with tube stereos and cotton strings controlling our tuner dials to the digital age. When I started the second semester of my freshman year at a small liberal arts college like yours (in northern Idaho), I happily laid out $1400 for a Mac Plus and and $300 for an Epson dot-matrix printer, which was far better than the second hand typewriter and six gallons of whiteout I used for my first semester. Thi’m war the days, say I. (Happy they’re gone, really)
I once, as a young postgraduate, was given a room (long story) which literally had been a broom cupboard. They did remove the brooms though…
I have some background in chemical engineering and electrical engineering and that looks like a semi-vacated and well-cleaned chemistry lab.
Not much like a EE/power electronics lab, which would have big breaker panels, power distribution units, switches, thick cables, oscilloscopes and power analyzers. And there would be electric motors/generators and various power electronic converters.
I am also lacking in Jacob’s Ladders, giant throw switches, hunchbacked assistants, and oversized cadavers. I’m going to have to write a big grant proposal to get those.
Looks fairly well organized to me. That’s one thing about having a small space, you have to keep it organized otherwise it becomes unworkable.
Let me guess, filled with cobwebs?
Very cool lab, but adding to your list, PZ, I am very dissapointed by the distinct lack of bubbeling green liquid in random bits of chemistry glassware.
