Please pardon my lack of posts. I'm traveling in France for a couple of weeks and haven't had a chance to write anything. I visited l'École Nationale Supérieure today. I was able to see original research samples from Louis Pasteur. What a treat!
This reminds me of the chemistry laboratory where I worked as a postdoc in the College de France. Wonderful old chemistry samples and equipment. There is even a creepy staircase going deep into the ground, apparently used to cool crystallization samples before artifical refrigeration - "le puit de Berthelot".

Looks like somebody has recently moved 'em! :)
