Taking our research with a different approach...

Even if we may want to travel all the year, the truth is that life is not only about pleasure and joy over the year, right?

Keeping this in mind, we must be also extremely focused on our work and always do our best to achieve the best result possible with our research! As a matter of fact, I used to have my own lab when I was younger and studying chemistry at university but I could never take my research to a whole new level because I simply didn’t have the needed facilities to do so! So, do you also think that you could do better with some new and modern Lab Furniture? Then you definitely need to have a look at the link above and witness how all that furniture will come in handy for your research!

Why don't you try a new sport?


When you think about your future travels, do you consider a new and more dangerous sport than what you are used to?

It takes nerves of steel to ride India’s Wall of Death. In fact, it takes gumption just to watch cars and motorcycles swirling on the walls of a 30-foot diameter, near-vertical barrel. For the drivers, it’s a chance at fame and fortune—this sport carries a huge amount of status in places like Srinagar, Kashmir, where career opportunities are few and far between. So when the chance arises, drivers rev their vehicles, accelerating and climbing the wall until they’re roaring just inches away from the cheering crowd’s faces.

The Wall of Death and other wacky, local sports transport you inside a culture faster than any museum tour. In this case, you’ll get a taste of the chaos and passion that makes India so exhilarating. Of course, not all wacky sports are so death-defying, but they still garner a ton of enthusiasm. Why? “Elite sports are unattainable for many people,” muses sports organizer Sheelagh Tompkins. But with local sports, she says, “There’s always the chance to come away with a world championship.”

Tompkins, it turns out, organizes a world-championship swimming event in Wales that has taken place every year for 23 years: bog snorkeling. Swimming through a stinking marsh the texture of pea soup might seem unconventional, but it gives the 170 mere mortals who participate every year a chance at stardom—no matter how provincial.
