That wasn't a student that murdered the girl at Yale, it was an animal technician.

Needs refreshing occasionally though.

I like to wave my arm around and pretend I'm soaring through the air like an empty beer can.

They went after buffalo technology originally (test case), the rest sued to have the patent rendered invalid. CSIRO counter-sued. The chipset manufacturers will toes the line at some point if they haven't already.

Why not? Why have your standard use a poor alternative.

No, this is: TGGCATCAACAATCTCAT! (well almost, there is no amino acid with O as its one letter symbol so I had to use Qs. So actually it spells WHQQSH: Tryptophan, Histidine, Glutamine, Glutamine, Serine, Histidine. Also I coverted the uracils to to thymines so as not to confuse you nice non-bioscience folk.)

It didn't happen to be present in several standards. It was made the standard after they invented it. Huge difference that.

Cool, so you don't mind if I leach off your country's social security then do you? I pay taxes here so I must deserve it.

Cervical cancer vaccine.

*gives up the right to use it for a time, in exchange for free access once the patent has expired - thats the other thing about patents, the invention is described in full meaning that when it does expire any man or his dog can replicate the technology without having to conduct the research.

Pubmed is free access? I am a scientist (cancer research to be specific). One of the students in the lab I work in got a chemical splashed into her eye. She was taken to emergency and there she was treated by a doctor who raved about this fantastic website he had found that would tell him what effect the chemical would have on the eye. Turned out that website was pubmed. You can possibly only appreciate the hilarity of that if you are in bio science. But for you non-bioscience people: pubmed is the single most used literature database. And this doctor thought he was very special for discovering it.

I had a bantam rooster (Pekin for those who are interested - the ones that look like tea cosys) who used to bash up a rooster twice his size, because there was a third rooster around who was top rooster and would protect my bantam rooster - and also bash up the underdog too. When the top rooster got old and died, suddenly the underdog was top dog and now my rooster got his turn at being bashed up.

Thats a new one!

Institutional labs typically suffer from transient researchers - mostly students. Having worked (and studied) in both areas it seems to me that the problem in universities is that there is often noone specifically in charge of safety and the people spending the most time in the labs are the least experienced ones - talking about university labs. In industry, they make sure to assign a safety officer and there is always experienced people actually in the lab.
