The research team includes Ph.D. candidate Bernd G. K. Steiger, BSc student Nam Bui and postdoctoral fellow trainee Bolanle M. Babalola.

I recently stumbled across an early '50s photo of Audrey Hepburn, white gloves and all, standing in front of a row of chrome and glass cubicles at a Manhattan Horn & Hardart Automat. The starlet in the photo is presumably about to put her nickels into a slot that will open to a seductive slice of pie, an illuminated slab of meatloaf or something similarly tasty.
