“Butterflies and Beamsplitters”

llustration I made for one of my favorite professors who taught me about laser cooling, which blew my mind. The glassware and lasers are inspired by the insane amount of optics he had in his lab. The body pattern is based off a graph he made in one of his papers.

My company furloughed half of my staff and cut everyone’s pay who didn’t get furloughed and now they’re ASKING US TO DONATE MONEY TO THOSE FURLOUGHED.

WITH WHAT MONEY??? The money you won’t give us?!?

The fucking AUDACITY-

Free snacks with purchase of new equipment: it's a thing in optics research labs. Thorlabs started including boxes of "Lab Snacks" whenever there was extra room in a flat-rate shipment. Optics researchers are of course completely non-susceptible to inducements of this sort. Yet now, coincidentally, Newport Optics is including "GuruGear" snack boxes as well. The two companies have begun to specialize - Thorlabs has always offered healthy snacks (with fruit snacks occupying a delicious gray area), while Newport is trying candy and non-edible giveaways. Recently Thorlabs has begun to up its game - boxes are now heavier, and more likely to include luxuries such as Goldfish and Popcorners. I look forward to continued escalation, and the prospect of one day getting a free pony with every optics order.
