Imagine traveling back in time to Tycho Brahe’s 16th-century alchemy lab and you give him one aliquot of plasmid with a multiplex CRISPR array and he has absolutely no reaction because synthetic DNA just looks like clear liquid and you return home to find the timeline unchanged
Gen x explaining to gen z how to get bubbles out of the western blot sandwich (tech has not changed in 40 years)
Exactly 21 years passed between the original Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA (February 27, 1975) and the release of Pokémon Red/Green (February 27, 1996). To all who attended the recent Spirit of Asilomar conference: you have 21 years to deliver me real Pokémon.
Ciao, Melbourne! It was so much fun to meet you for the first time at @MGE_AUS - a huge thanks to all of the rad attendees and organisers. See you next time with even more cool plasmids in tow ~
Sciencin' together is what good waffles do 🧇
THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER CONGRATULATIONSS 🖤💚

I miss PCRS. :(
@_inc0_ It's honestly dumb how much plants need oxygen don't they know they're supposed to be the things that make oxygen
Chemists who publish negative findings should call those papers publianions instead of publications
I had a convoluted hand dance to remember the main parts and processes of vertebrae. Looked like a lunatic doing this at my desk during exams.

What’s this attached to the hyoid? It looks like a coat hanger. Where do you find coathangers? In the laundry. What do you use to wash your laundry? OMO. Omohyoid.

Somebody sturbly mah spaghet!
Fun actual real fact (I swear I'm not making this one up): Here in Denmark Good Friday is called Long Friday, which is all I need to declare Easter to be a Parafilm relevant holiday
@plasmidsaurus Can you imagine trying to do science with a big head and such little arms.
