Amazon has a new Lab&Scientific (beta) section, which is pretty cool. However, it is clear that non-scientists are writing the catalog, for no scientist worth their pipettes would ever miss this typo:

| | chipper | ] | Well, it seems we are in the 'Christmas Season' and I thought some of you might enjoy some science with your holidays ;) Under the cut is something my highschool physics teacher read to us on the last class before the holidays a few years back :) we then spent the rest of that class doing physics 'challenges' in teams for bonus marks on our final grade :D Best. Class. Ever. (So some of the figures in this might be a tad out of date, but I still find it pretty amusing!)
Enjoy and Happy Holidays! :)
( The Physics of Christmas ) And also, a cheesey macro I made after Stats class one day-Har har! (the roflbot site that was recommended to me is great, thanks again!) |

Edit
Some info for the curious: this was a glu -ura +amp plate with transformed S. cerevisiae (the white colonies), and a large, angry looking contaminant mold (probably a penicillium spp). One of our lab members had crappy aseptic technique and you could always tell which plates were his based on the mold fiesta, visible even through a whole stacked sleeve. You cant tell from the top view, but from the underside of the plate you could see that the mold colony had actually started growing on top of an existing yeast colony, which led me to the inevitable pic w/caption. |
