Moving Days

Our lab has been moving this week. Kind of a pain since it is a temporary move of 6-12 months while they remodel the space around our old lab. Downside: the time needed to pack/unpack and the likely problems of keeping consistency between our experiments. Upside: We didn't need to move everything. A good thing when your PI has been in research for 20+ years and there is equipment aplenty that nobody uses anymore. The other upside, check out my new view (Note: found the pictures on the web; didn't take them myself, but they'll give you a pretty good idea of things).

Here's the view from my desk (!) looking over the tram and Ross Island bridge. It's a hazy day else you could see Mt. Hood, too.


And here's the view from the lunchroom, where you can see downtown, most of portland's bridges and even Mt. St. Helens.


I'm going to bring a plant in for more greenery. I'll be sad to give up this view.
