That is one of the instruments I work on in the picture. Does pretty cool stuff. The instrument itself is pretty simple. Any fuckwit could fix it tbh, and sometimes does.
Does look as if it’d make a terrific cup of coffee but probably needs more dials and switches to really impress visiting friends.
The electron microscope I used to work on looked a bit like a coffee machine tbh.

One of the maths lecturers at Exeter got to the finals whilst I was there. He chose as his final specialist subject the novels of Philip K Dick.

It was a car crash of a round. I think he also admitted in the interview section to not actually having read all of them either. Very bizarre.
