So part of my thesis focuses on paleomagnetism. Here’s some pictures from Joe Kirschvink’s lab at Caltech that I was fortunate to spend the weekend working in. (In case you didn’t know who Kirschvink is, he’s the one who was the original publisher of the snowball earth theory, and the one who invented all these machines and programs to process paleomag samples)
Joe also once had a fridge fail over a weekend. That freezer was holding human brains.
No I am not making this up.
