With Ben Spence's help we have setup the lab and I am beginning to understand what some of the machines do in it. But this is all very important for us to have it like this because today we'll have a visitor. A wise sage, Dr. Mike Oldham, is coming to give us guidance in becoming experimentalists.
We intend to duplicate an experimental setup that he used in 1997. This will be to get us experience with the devices, but then we will branch out and insert our own devices into the experimental design.
Here's to a week on the empirical side of science.
Cheers,

I find this kind of documentation of your process of setting up an experimental space / lab interesting. A pretty limited population of folks ever have the opportunity to experience this and the snapshots you provide in both image and text are not trivial. It is in the spirit of "open science" and I for one think we'd benefit from engaging in more of that. Again...look forward to this story unfolding!!
