Our space potato (aka the vacuum chamber) is toasty! Currently baking gently.

An ultra-high-vacuum chamber sitting on an optical table in a physics lab. The chamber is attached to a turbo pump and has been completely covered in aluminium foil for insulation during the bakeout.

Fishnish is campaigning to be the lab mascot.

A black and white kitten looks towards the camera. She has a green ribbon that says ADVANCING PHYSICS.

I recently enjoyed a trip to the US Pacific Northwest. Lots of excellent physics conversations at DAMOP2025 in Portland, and a focused workshop on compressible turbulence at the UW's Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle. Of course I also took some time to walk in an old-growth forest!

Our vacuum build has begun!

Caught a few unexpected statues in Florence. I feel like these could spice up my next laser safety seminar.

The Watcher beside Basilica of San Lorenzo - sculpture of a naked man with head tilted to the sky and pillars extending from his eyes skywards.

Korf17 in piazza del Duomo - a pair of statues of naked men wearing goggles and looking upwards.
