Cavern of Science

Inspired by a recent painting of the laboratory, this abstract palette cleanser is a fusion of art and science. The abstract forms at the bottom of the painting represent the kind of things we would see under the microscope, and the scary looking space at the top is the laboratory. Now that the actual laboratory is cleaned, detoxified, and organized, it is starting to feel like a good place to work. I know the graduate students will get some results soon, which is going to be a good moment considering how long this laboratory sat neglected and mostly unused before I took over. Not that I am trying to brag, but there were mountains of rubbish, biohazards, chemical waste, radioactive artifacts and razor blades lying around. I could have made a reality TV show called 'laboratory nightmares' !
