The Lure of “The Labyrinth”
Of course, on the day I’m posting about Labyrinths, someone orders this ring from my Etsy shop: I wonder what movie I’ll watch tonight. I have a hankering for a film with David Bowie and some contact juggling.
The wild beasts of Nevis
Nevis Laboratories, the physics lab where I work, is setting up an outreach program. The goal is to give the general public an idea of the work we do here. I’ve become the “social media coordinator” for the lab. Nevis now has a presence on three social-media sites: Facebook
