Hey, Chris here. As you probably guessed, we have been spending a lot of time inside the lab learning as much as we can. And while learning about MuSR is fun, and getting to run the experiments is exciting, we haven't had much of a chance to meet people outside of the lab. So lately, we've been trying to get out more and explore more of Vancouver. The first step for us was to hang out with some people from the lab. We got to see Stanley Park with some of the scientists and Grad students from TRIUMF. There were copious amounts of Geese and and plenty of other birds as well.







Also, we discovered the ping-pong room in the lab. This has not helped out productivity, but Zach and I have greatly increased our ping pong abilities, and if we stay here for another month or so, I think we could eventually be like this guy.



Not exactly the same.



A few days later, we found the local UBC swimming pool, and decided to try it out. While there were 3 meter and 5 meter diving boards, Zach and I practiced out diving off of the lowest board. In hindsight, this was probably a good idea. We also managed to get pictures without ruining the camera, which would have ended this blog right there.











We also used a Geiger counter to discover the radiation levels in the facility.



Well, thats all for now, but I'm sure we will have a lot more to talk about soon.
Later
-Chris
