This is me, sitting in front of my Instrument RESEDA, trying to figure out why it isn’t working.

While this happens more often than you’d think, it’s not all I do. Besides fixing and maintaining RESEDA I get to do my own experiments, help researchers from all over the world do their measurements, and figure out what their data means. Once we know that, we write it all down and publish papers, where we describe what we did, why and what it means, which is very rewarding. However, these papers are always written for our colleagues and are almost impossible to understand for someone who isn’t a specialist. I think it’s a shame that papers aren’t written for everyone, so I decided to just do that myself.
