"One of my first blog posts on US LHC was titled "My Workbench," following the style of the regular column in Seed magazine. This semester our group finally moved to a new building, so I wanted give a snapshot of my research environment. So, without further ado, here's my annotated office.
Before going into details... yes, it's an office. I don't have a lab, I don't wear a lab coat, I don't even wear closed-toed shoes. (When indoors I'm usually shuffling around in comfy Birkenstocks.) This is partly because I'm a theorist and my experimental colleagues wouldn't let my clumsy hands anywhere near lab equipment--but actually most experimentalists have very similar offices where they do much their analysis work (Christine's rappelling onto the ALICE detector notwithstanding!)."
