Our favorite four posts about life in science, not the literature.
Four posts, zero papers, one sink full of dishes.

My take: A decade of sterile technique and I still spend more time at the sink than at the bench. Glassware is the only collaborator that demands daily attention and never takes authorship.

My take: His lab throws a yearly party for the experiment that went wrong a decade ago. Every lab has one of those experiments; most of us just call it Tuesday and never speak of it again.

My take: I have written that review. Mine had paragraphs, but the paragraphs were just this sentence wearing a coat, stretched over two pages so the editor would not notice.

My take: Most labs fake the Halloween post with a pumpkin by the centrifuge. This one just pointed the confocal at a lung in orange and yellow and called it a brew, and the microscope did the rest.
That’s the four. See you tomorrow morning.
