(Click on image for full size)Tomorrow, the Microscope is leaving for a week and going right into ground zero of the economic crisis: Athens.

Sadly, this won’t be like a month ago, when I was in Spain. That’s a nice way of saying that I haven’t prepared any comics in advance (due to various reasons) and the blog’s traffic will plummet like the global market (too soon?).

So, I hope to be back next Friday, and will put up some new comics soon. Meanwhile, why don’t you feast upon the Comic Archives? It’ll cure what ails you – if what ails you is a postdoc, academia, lab monkeys, research funding, or just an old man yelling at you for using a multichannel pipette.

You can also follow me on Twitter, which is where everything happens these days. I’m sure I’ll have a lot to tweet from Greece.
