Things I've learned in lab this week

Things I've learned in lab recently, in no particular order:

• Powdered gloves + black pants = more laundry
• Cells don't like being tossed into a liquid N₂ tank all of a sudden.
• Chicken embryos look like little chickens, but with enormous heads. They're kinda like Grays.
• If you run a very old centrifuge faster than it likes, the drive belt will melt =(
• Hot glassware doesn't look hot. [Yes, I stole that, but it's a classic.]
