revchrisWe have a professor visiting one of our research groups for the next several months (he's on sabbatical and using that time to collaborate here).
He's looking forward to it because I told him today that I'd help him get his hands dirty at whatever he wanted to try in the labs we've got. Apparently, he's not allowed to do anything hands-on back in his lab because his students are doing it all. I've worked with him before, and I know he's not a klutz and can do a lot of the stuff he's talking about, but we both realize that he's probably going to need a little extra training here and there to make it all work.
He's a polymer guy, but he's got some soft glass materials he wants to polish, and if we are in the foundry this summer, he wants to help there too.
