The PCR Song
the people at biorad came up with this pretty hilarious song
http://bio-rad.cnpg.com/lsca/videos/ScientistsForBetterPCR/
There was a time when to amplify DNA,
You had to grow tons and tons of tiny cells.
Then along came a guy named Dr. Kary Mullis,
Said you can amplify in vitro just as well.
Just mix your template with a buffer and some primers,
Nucleotides and polymerases, too.
Denaturing, annealing, and extending.
Well it’s amazing what heating and cooling and heating will do.
PCR, when you need to detect mutations.
PCR, when you need to recombine.
PCR, when you need to find out who the daddy is.
PCR, when you need to solve a crime.
(repeat chorus)

Choux Parity
Bought these choux pastries (like Beard Papa) in Isetan basement - quite a posh bakery. How come no QC?

murder
this is a very distubing video of how a mouse dies under carbon dioxide asphyxiation. please do not watch if you dont think you can stand to see an animal die. this method is a totally legal and humane manner of putting down used animals in research.
