Professor Steven Leeb drops by the lab to talk about some key moments as an undergraduate and graduate student at MIT. We find ourselves on the topic of 80s nerd movies, but get back to talking about research and MIT magic.
We test Steve's knowledge of department numbers and present the 2022 Big Nut Award.
Our first installment of "Sounds from the Lab" goes live. Comment @lockthequill for the chance to take home the motherlode - a genuine Lock the Quill sticker.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
