# he was
and also arguably as influential, but without the widespread fame.

# I know.
Actually I'm a bit of a sucker for geeky science so I am aware of Haeckel but generally I was more of a particle geek so my heroes have been the likes of Bohr [the most influential physicist of our time for me} Schrödinger, Planck and Von Neumann.

# great
all of which have spent some time in Jena, there are one or two things named after Bohr, and the big research institute in Germany (in Tübigen) is named after Planck, which is where I shall be applying if I don't get an extension here.

Jena is sort of the historical epicentre of academia and science in germany and was attend by dudes like Hegel, von Schlegel, Goethe, Schiller and Marx.

It's all about the physics and optics these days, unsurprisingly, but the university is still among the top three.

# But would you not like to try
a while at Copenhagen? Just to say you went there? I know I would have. Manchester is a fine Uni for the sciences too.

# perhaps
but I think Copenhagen would bankrupt me. I have considered Manchester though, they have a good (proper scientific) psychology department. On the downside, the police there are animals and couldn't keep order at a teaparty.

# I disagree about the police.
It's my home town remember. It's a great place for students ( unless I'm in town, in which case get the fuck away from me you childish fucks )
Policing is very good. Tag teams are out in force most nights. Most of the police forces outside of the Met are trained here or nearabouts. Plus you could come and visit me and we can geek it up over beer and b3ta.
