      I keep the spiders, prepare my samples and have my desk in Zoology, but I go over to the Engineering Department to use their equipment.

      They have a gas gun, so I can fire projectiles at silk and pull silk apart really fast. They also have a really cool microscope that we don’t have in Zoology, which allows you to zoom in really close even when your sample is wet.
