So… my posting frequency has dropped off a bit over the past couple months. But I have a good reason—last week I moved to Lausanne, Switzerland (pictured above) to begin my post-doctoral work! To be sure, there’s be lot’s of adjusting to do in the near future (e.g. these keyboards drive me nuts!), but I’m ecstatic to be here. After basically an entire summer spent wrapping up papers from my PhD research and goofing off, I’m actually excited to get back into the lab. Hopefully I’ll learn a bit about environmental policy in the Swiss and European systems to be able to provide some sort of intelligible commentary here, but I wouldn’t hold my breath—français est trés difficile!
Beautiful city!
All the best in Swiss!
It’s good to notice that you have already found a weapons shop.
Infinitely jealous of you, Nick! Hope your adjustment period is quick and easy. Best of luck with your new lab and new home! Eat lots of cheese and chocolate. It helps everything :)
Luckily labs all look the same on the inside.
The older lab equipment usually has text, indicators and guidelines and explanatory notes in the language of the country of origin:
On / Off – Marche / Arrêt – Ein / Aus
And those are the easy ones.
