So I've been having a lot of science times at my job and have taken a few sneaky cell phone shots of the most scientific looking activities. The best experience so far however (and doubtless the coolest part of the whole, stupid company) is the glass shop, where they make all of the glassware we use in-house! I knew that this mysterious shop existed, and that the enigmatic man who worked there was an artisan in is own right (he decorates the flasks and tubes with colored glass faces) but what i found was a surprise. In the glass shop is a HUGE, hand blown aquarium, complete with filter and aeration systems! I'll include a picture, but I wasn't able to fit the whole thing in frame, and there's nothing like seeing it in person. It's just such an out of place surprise. The plant itself is dingy, chemical-stained, and gray but the fish in this tucked away room are happy and alive.
