Birthday Party - The Second Coming

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

What corridor?

Your biscuits still look very yummy. I took some of mine to school, to offer them to a few selected colleagues, and they were ecstatic. Earler on I used to offer them more people, but when I saw my poor cookies lie around on their desks a week later I decided that I'd only give them to those who can value them.

It stands for 'London Centre for Nanotechnology' and 'Thomas Young Centre'; I am part of the former as well as the Department of Materials. We have a very nice group of people with offices off this corridor and a big shared office with lots of happy -- and always willing to eat things -- post-doctoral researchers and Ph.D.-students.

I keep forgetting that we have an actual, honest-to-earth scientist among us. And here I am, blathering around about nanotechnology in my fics and other stuff I haven't really got a clue about. *ducks*

In The Physics of Star Trek there is a list of the ten worst science moments in Trek so if (and I want to stress the 'if' here) you get it wrong you are in good company with professional writers who should have the resources to get it right in the form of scientific consultants.
