In that totally unbiassed and analytical way scientists operate, we find Peet's Coffee to be simply the best coffee around (although anything will get drunk when we run out of Peets). Slowly but surely we are spreading the Peet's addiction throughout the Biology Department at PennState.

Fortunately PennState has two coffee shops in the student union (The HUB) nearby the lab that make a decent Latte if we run out of the good stuff.Tea is also occasionally brewed and we import PG-TIPS or Budgens round tea bags from the UK whenever possible.

Other lab "vices" include (but of course are not limited to...)

- Chocolates from See's Candies out west. We appreciate travellers bringing back a sweet treat to central Pennsylvania from somewhere more chocolate-rich.

-Bowling in the Gilroy lab.
"More pints than pins"

-The North Frear Starcraft league and Frear Freaks of Diablo2. "If it weren't for Blizzard Entertainment I'd have graduated 2 years ago."

-Brian Escargot, the Gilroy Lab Snail. He occationally presents posters at meetings detailing his most recent discoveries.

-The Gilroy lab has 33 Disco Balls and 3 Rubber Chickens hanging from the ceiling. No lie. Stop by and see for yourself!
