Where do I come in? Well, at first I was like "that is cool - but there isn't much for me to say." But then someone said that they weren't giving out many details of how they did this - you know, saving it for the real show. That is where I come in. You want to keep stuff hidden?

"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!)."
