As You Can See

I've decided to snazz it up a bit, blog-wise by adding a picture to put behind the title. The stupid thing is, the html isn't designed in a way that the title box has a different background
so instead, I had to crop the fucking image
which by the way, is a micrograph of a slice of mouse cortex

there was this study done where they spliced genes into mouse dna
and these genes were designed to express a fluorescent protein,
so, they put three different color genes in: blue, yellow and red
the resultant effect:


They call it "Brainbow"

I call it fucking awesome.
It's fucking raining outside and the heater isnt working again, since I live in tenement housing.

Last night, I decided to go to bed early, since I had been up and working since 7 am the day before (I am a nerd)
So I called it a night at like...9 pm.
I woke up in the middle of the night to discover that somehow a piece of chocolate had been knocked off my bedside table into my bed and that i had somehow smashed it all over my back.


Either that or I shat myself in my sleep but just happen to have rich, creamy poo.


I am also slightly ashamed to admit that I keep chocolate on my bedside table..
not always, I swear.
ok, well
READ ABOUT BRAINBOW MICE!
its cool, also, there is a lab in Maine that produces them for scientific consumption...
so if anyone wants to start a fake lab and collect rainbow brained mice, then...I have a few papers you need to sign.
