Quick Pic: What’s On Your Boxing Cart?
Erin is working through some of the items from the History of Medicine Collection that moved over to the Rubenstein Library this summer.
This collection has an amazing array of materials including a large collection of historic scientific instruments. If you are nearby, stop by the Trent Room where some of these are on display.
Quick Pic: The morning after
Sad balloons. Thanks to the Staff Recognition Committee for brightening our day last week. The bonus? we now have a new, light weight for use in the lab. Anyone want to donate their balloon weight to the lab? if so, send it downstairs.
Our pals over at Devil’s Tale also posted their balloon bouquet!
Quick Pic: A colorful thank you
We just got ballooned!

What does it take to flatten photographs that are three or four feet long? A lot of press boards, bricks and weights, and an entire table.
Quick Pic: A Billion Boxes
We are creating custom enclosures for materials from the History of Medicine Collection. The fantastic staff of the Conservation Lab made these while I was at the AIC conference.
They left them all on my bench as a welcome-back present. I love evidence of productivity like this, and it is much more satisfying than the other welcome-back present I had…527 emails in my inbox.
Quick Pic: It Really Should Be Monday
Wet ceiling tiles and computers are not a good match. At least we have enough paper towel to clean up the pool of water.
