There are numerous projects and facilities within SAMS that are a mystery to many staff outside specific departments. I thought it might be nice to have an occasional informal show-and-tell with a general staff invite, whether it be an interesting experiment, piece of equipment or entire enigmatic wings of the building.
For a start, Professor Mark Inall kindly offered to do a demonstration of the fjord tank .
We had a great turnout, with two sittings to accomodate everyone. Based on the success of this session we’ll definitely do another one fairly soon. A couple of photos below showcasing the tank and Mark’s smashed finger!
