The “Intellectual Centre of the Laboratory” is represented in this drawing by Paul Margiotta #piljammin in the LMB’s Visual Aids team for day 41 of #LMB365. Max Perutz, founder of the LMB, felt it was important that there was somewhere in the Lab for people to go and socialise, and to get good, reasonably priced food. Researchers were encouraged to visit the Canteen and it became the place to share ideas. Some people even credited this as one of the contributing factors to the LMB’s success.
