Several Improbable Research persons (I am one of them) are at CERN for a few days. We sometimes dine in CERN’s main cafeteria, and are delighted at the goodness of the food and the general atmosphere — and equally delighted at the kindness, friendliness, and relaxed cheeriness of the people who work at the cafeteria.
It’s all even better than what Lois Malone in 1996 when she did a review of the CERN cafeteria, in the Annals of Improbable Research.
