Chemistry lab in Heidelburg

Our lab got renovated recently. It doesn’t look anything like this old school chemistry lab we saw at the Heidelburg castle though!

Here are some photos I found kicking around on my hard drive that I’d forgotten to upload to the web.

Heidelburg

After our day trip to Karlsruhe, Vicki and I met up with Vikas Aggarwal (another former labmate of mine) and headed over to Heidelburg. When we arrived, we met up with my old friend Sandra Panienka and Vikas’s friend Stephanie Jungkunz.

The city is incredibly beautiful. High up on the hilltop is the famous Heidelberg Castle which went to visit.

Karlsruhe

After galavanting around England, Vicki Argyle and I headed off to Karlsruhe in Germany, where Frederik Klöwer (my ex-labmate) picked us up from the airport and took us to the “Institut für Anorganische Chemie der Universität Karlsruhe”, which is the inorganic chemistry department of Karlsruhe university. We got to meet Frederik’s lab mates, including Julia Rinck who is coming to Dunedin shortly. Frederik also took us on a tour of the city of Karlsruhe and taught me some highly useful German phrases such as ‘Willst du mich heiraten?’.
