Squuuuishy!
Yesterday at work I was filing papers again and got curious about this lux operon thingy that we're going to be using with an imaging system. Turns out Photorhabdus luminescens is a bacterium that kills insect larvae in the soil. One of its genes which produces an insecticide toxin is called mcf1. What does mcf stand for? Makes Caterpillars Floppy.
=D if that's not brilliantly simple nomenclature, I don't know what is.
The Xenogen imaging system comes with a totally drool-able flatscreen monitor that's got to be at least 17 inches. Too bad it's in the animal isolation wing, hehe. Cannot use for watching DVDs on lunch break.

That is SO like Prachett's "FTB Enabled"!
(For the ininitiated - Hex the computer only works when his Fluffy Teddy Bear is there)
Between you and me we're like the Pratchett fangirl club or something =)
Don't forget Jer! =P
Yes, but i think he would be unhappy if i called him a fangirl.
