[Histonet] interesting pictures

[louise renton]

Looking at the pictures of the Russian lab one thing struck me forcibly.
They have a WINDOW, with pot plants, and sunshine and green trees outside.
For all the mod cons in my lab, we work in a windowless, artificially lit
space, and the only windows (in the secretary's office) look out onto the
concrete side of another building! Sometimes, its the little things that
count!
