Weekly Lab Report:
Using the 10kHz laser downtime to our advantage, the two rackable Environmental Control Units were taken down from above the optical table, to a rack has been postioned next to the table. As installed , checking the dessicant colour and replacing the cannisters as required was a inconvenient task, increasing wear and tear on the connecting lines
.
Replacement parts have been tested for the Pockels Cell Driver(PCD), with the revelation that electronic components from two different sources, with the same number stamped on them, and with the same spec sheet data, showed significantly different behaviour under load! A new order has been placed to source the parts from the same manufacturer as used in the PCD.
I walked the new PhD student through the chiller water replacement in one chiller, along with the coolant in the chiller for the 1kHz laser.
The new student got a mild shock off one of the optical talbes and got shocks off another one. After shutting all the equipment down (after powering up, following an RCD test), initial tests led to the closing of the lab and subsequently closing of the building. Further tests last Friday isioated a possible cause with further work the following week.
My work was focussed again on the paper which I need to complete a second draft of, early this week. I also produced a collection of presentation slides (using the beamer class) documenting internal photos our our FTI apparatus, along with some of the repair work done over the past months.

Meet the winners of the 2025 #DanceYourPhD contest
It's time again to honor the winners of the annual Dance Your PhD contest, where eager young scientists attempt to convey the concepts of their doctoral theses through dance.
There are four broad categories—physics, chemistry, biology, and social science—liberally defined. https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/05/meet-the-winners-of-the-2025-dance-your-phd-contest/

Das #SAP an der #UniBonn ist so eine harte Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahme. Wie viele STUNDEN da im Nichts versinken. Es ist LANGSAM, ständig beknackte Fehlermeldungen, 28x das gleiche eingeben, Anstatt, dass er selber offensichtliche Dinge ausfüllt, ewig auf Dialoge warten... 😠
Bin ich froh, dass man als Wissenschaftler an der @unituebingen noch vernünftig Reisekostenabrechnung machen kann (Drucken, ordentlich zusammentragen, beschreiben, EIN kleines Formular ausfüllen, abgeben)
👨🏻🎓 We wish Alexandre de Sousa the best of

The admins keep coming. Now it's mid afternoon and I am still holding back the tide! #PhDLife
I write about water vapour a lot. When doing a search in my notes I can't find what I want 🤨 there are too many results! I will keep looking #PhDLife
Thank the gods, admin done, back to writing (or re-writing!!!) #PhDLife
Sometimes I feel that work at the university is all admin 🤷♀️ I might be able to do some writing afterwards....? #PhDLife
You know when someone edits your text, breaks the reference manager link and doesn’t even care to tell you? Not that it MATTERS or anything that the references are now a randomised number salad. #PhDLife #AcademicSky #AcademicCrimes #ThisIsFine #Only100PlusRefs
Working on my new zine, which is a rework of a zine that had writers block. This is a zine version of some research I found during my literature review. Getting ready for the zine fair in Hobart in October #zine #PhDLife
I was on a writing streak yesterday, so here's another blogpost:
A pragmatic method for picking PhD research projects
The checklist is meant for picking research projects that take 3-6 months, and have a reasonable chance of succeeding and getting published.
If you do one such project every 6 months, you can do 7 full research projects in 3.5 years and then still have take 6 months to finish up your thesis and find your next job.

New blogpost:
Lessons from the first year of my PhD
I finished my PhD in computer science more than three years ago. Now that I have a little bit of mental distance from my PhD time, I'm going through my research diary to see if there's stuff in there that can be useful for other people.
Apparently I'm incapable of writing short-form texts, so here is part 1. ;)

Weekly lab report.
Progress continues wirh resolving rhe Pockels Cell driver issue. Parts have been ordered once more.
Using the old laser, we wete unable to get the strong argon signal we had got before. A short was found in the deflection plate, which means we will have to break down the apparatus. This is a part of the equipment I have not seen yet.
My paper went ahead in leaps and bounds earlier in the week.
I did get to sit in on a couple of hours of 3MT talks. It was great to see what a number of other PhD candidates were up to.
