The Moerner lab had it’s (approximately) annual lab-cleanup day: We spent from 10am–3pm cleaning up the lab (with a break for lunch, of course). Here are some pics, including some before-and-after:

Figure 2. Unlabeled vial?!? I bet it’s dye.

Well, not everything is nice and clean and neat and organized and put away … for the next two months. I didn’t get any pics of the vacuuming, the lifting strange pieces of equipment from the 1980s, and the organizing of filters. Fun stuff!
