Wet Lab
25 February 2009 - The Wet Lab at the GRC has undergone significant renovations. While we expect to make further improvements in the coming months, the images below will give you a good idea of what to expect.
The Gardens at the GRC
25 February 2009 - Inspired by the bottle house in Rhyolite Nevada, we have constructed the first of several container gardens at the GRC. As you can see our first set of tomato plants are doing nicely. We expect to build more containers and be able to supplement the cafeteria with fresh produce throughout the year. To assist with enriching the soil we have also begun to compost vegetable waste from the kitchen.
