Faculty Lounge

We are planning to convert the senior common room into a tea & coffee room for the entire faculty, so that more socializing can occur among PIDE staff. Social networking leads to strong positive externalities in research. Durre Nayab has promised to buy us a fancy coffee machine, while a simple tea making machine is cheaply available locally. One part of this effort would be that we would discourage use of Naib Qasid to bring tea – if you never get out of your office, you will never meet anyone. Just a short walk to the faculty lounge to make your own tea and coffee will create greater social interactions.
