Bit boring, but free coffee and donuts...

[lwilson]

If anyone is interested in this, let me know because I'll definitely be there (I seldom leave the lab these days, but it's just along the corridor) - sounds a bit pretentious if you ask me, but it might be quite interesting. It's in the physics department, and we get a free cup of coffee and a donut too. The seminar is tonight (thursday 2/2/06)

That sounds pretty interesting actually, I could do with a bit of pretending to be a hard scientist and I think a trip to KB is something I should probably attempt in my uni career. Is JCMB easy to find? Would you be ashamed of me and my soft malleable little brain if I showed up? Do you know how long it's likely to be - I'm guessing an hour or whatever? Questions questions!

[lwilson]

hey, that'd be cool - JCMB is at the 'back' of kings buildings. Seminar should be an hour long, and I'm sure you'd be more than welcome! Give me a call if you can't find it, but if you're getting the shuttle bus up then the building is the big one about 100 yards behind and to the right of the stem cell place as you get off the bus.

ooh, stem cells, awesome. I'm there! Well, I'm not yet, but I just went on the physics dept website and downloaded a map and drew myself a little diagram and got all excited about the idea of things like stem cell research and mechanical engineering and and genomes and molecular biology buzzing away all around. Like this one time, last week, I was daydreaming about running away to Cambridge MA and working at MIT so I looked at all the job vacancies and they all said EXCITING things like "nuclear reactor laboratory" and "plasma fusion center" and "astronautics" and "magnetic resonance" and "modern high-resolution multidimensional NMR spectroscopy in liquids and/or solids". OOOH. I should really have lived in the 1950s for how excited Science gets me. I expect to see lots of big-brained and possibly mad scientists. Preferably with crowbars Cool.

Can I come and stand up midway through and say "I don't like you all talking about me in this way?"

[cr4k]

tell us about any more talks that come up. I like going to them and saying stuff like:

'It's just a vord!'
