At this point in time I thought it worthwhile to post a number of photographs taken at The University of Akron that provide additional credence to this blog series.  They say a picture is worth a thousand words, in this case “words of damnation” no doubt…

The following are pictures of “Kennedy’s” state of the art dry boxes and laboratory.  It should be obvious to the reader that this is a poor joke at being anything remotely up to date or for that matter in proper operating condition.

The following are pictures of “Kennedy’s” chemical storage.  Corrosion, leaking containers, etc. were commonplace as was improper mingling of reagents and storage methods.  Much of this mess was cleaned up prior to my departure from U. Akron by an unknown individual who appeared to show up (either retired or fired from) a local company (which the author believes was Firestone).  I’m guessing that individual had no life to speak of.

The polymer science department at U. Akron.  This is a good place to have one’s mental and physical health assaulted and ideas stolen all at the same time.
