Real Work
After chasing walnuts in the beautiful forests of Jalalabad oblast, Kyrgyzstan, I am now chasing them in a laboratory in Bishkek. I scan walnut cores with an Epson V500 scanner and then measure and analyze them on my faithful Toshiba laptop. A normal day at the office includes far more than simply looking a tree rings, however. Research here (and probably everywhere) also involves a tremendous amount of communication. Four scientists work in the same room with me. Information buzzes in and out of our room in a host of avenues. Phones ring, keyboards rattle, hands shake, and doors swing, all in an exciting hive of active communication.
