Shower for the eyes

More new stuff in the lab.
New taps and new eye washes and new showers. New taps on old sinks in the labs. New taps on new sinks at the common areas. New eye washes on every sink. New shower at the corridor.

Dirty eyes? Wash them, soap sold seperately:


New tap with new eye wash. This time, the flaps are open. Just press the handle:


Hold it up like this, pull up the heavy thing and press the handle, flaps will open downwards and water will come out....oOoOOo...


The common lab shower facility. Pull handle and water comes out. Once again, soap sold seperately. Shower curtain not provided.



This is how the thing looks like operationally.

Poster Colloquia

The second and third day of the conference had this poster session after lunch where the poster owners had to explain to a gathered crowd what his/her work was about. The second day was great, the crowd was pretty big and people were engaging. The third day was abit sad. Some posters only had the session-in-charge person and 1 or 2 more people listening. Here are pictures from the second day:

R. Kuhn: don't you ever ever scoup my work, or you will pay for it. You heard that?!


P. Young's nose and C.C. King's hunched back:


My poster is the best! My poster is the best!


IMHO, the most interesting poster. A group is using small pigs as animal models for dengue!! Isn't that so cool? After every round of experiments, you get a mini feast! Pork chop, roast, spare ribs, bak kut teh, kuey chap, chee kiok chow, char siew.
