Our #sts lab in Bochum is soon moving on campus. More to follow. A lovely new home for our lab. An event. And independent, open, POSSE-style blogging on top. Here's a snapshot from a recent underground trip we did. This is very close to our new home. As seen from below.

A narrow underground tunnel with pipes on the left and arrays of cables on the right. It's all grey down there, with bright lines coming from above.
