Wall News

I hadn't noticed how much my wall had grown until I tried to take a picture of it and had to do it in 2 parts! So there it is (to the left)! I managed to get Nikola in there as a last minute add in because the printing went a bit weird to make the top trumps! I think it was fate...

At the bottom you can just about see a picture of Saturn I got from Imperial. It is actually entitled 'Saturn and our pale blue orb' but me being the idiot I am I only understood what this meant yesterday when they explained it at Queen Mary! This is it closer:

Can you see the small dot in Saturn's rings? That's the earth!!

It was taken by the Cassini space shuttle which actually only has a camera with 1mega pixel! I find it remarkable that our mobile phones have a better camera than a space shuttle! Its because the shuttle was built in the 80's.

My human genome board has taken a few additions too!

There is a penguin magnet I got from the Royal Society Summer Exhibition which is a symbol in particle Physics because a professor lost a bet with some students which meant that he had to fit the word 'penguin' into his next paper! There is also a sign saying 'please stop mutating my DNA' because my genes kept mysteriously rearranging themselves!
