You know you’re a biologist when…
Hop over to the GE Global Research site and check John Nelson's full list...
Just a sample:
You know you’re a biologist when…
-You use the word “aliquot” in regular sentences.
-You’ve made dry ice grenades.

Science Rock Band Names in Twitter
In between experiments, I went into Twitter (you can follow me here)only to find out that a very funny (and yes, geeky) meme was started by @Albertagael and @hyphaltip . The idea? To give a science-related name to a hypothetical rock band. Tweets are being grouped under the hashtag #sciencerockbandnames. Check it out!! There are some very funny contributions.
Here are some of mine (in bold are my personal favorites):
X-Linked
Open Access
Heatblock
The Non Specific Band
The Probes
Free Radicals
Statistically Significant
Statistically Significant
Impact Factor
The 3rd Reviewer
The Et al's
The Et al's
The Knockouts
FISH and ChIP
FISH and ChIP
The BLAST
The Spliceosomes
Loading Control
Circadian Rhythm
Circadian Rhythm
These are some of my favorite from other Sciencetweets:
@modernscientist: Gibbs & The Delta Gs
@nocx "Massive a Taq"
@matthewherper "heavy metal": Black Staphist, Pantothera, Microbatallica, AC/GT
I will be updating this list with more funny names.

Rules for presenting at Experimental Biology
Stop whatever you are doing! Yes, stop!... and go over to Professor in Training and read her hilarious post: Rules for presenting at Experimental Biology.I especially liked the first one, because it's something that I generally have to remind my colleagues about:
1. Do not use comic sans on your slides. It sucks. And it makes you look stupid.__

Seminar bingo: Systems and Synthetic Biology edition
Remember PhD Comics' Seminar bingo? Every time you hear something at a lecture that is listed on your bingo sheet, you should cross it out and the first one to complete a straight line must yell out BINGO to win! (Not really ;-) Nobody will appreciate the interruption and you will be forever regarded as a mental patient)
OK, here's the Systems and Synthetic Biology edition, by Patrick Boyle:

The Top 20 most bizarre experiments of all time
A postdoc in my lab just send me this list. Check the original site here.
To research my new book, Elephants on Acid, I scoured scientific archives searching for the most bizarre experiments of all time — the kind that are mind-twistingly, jaw-droppingly strange... the kind that make you wonder, "How did anyone ever conceive of doing such a thing?"
Listed below are twenty of these experiments.
#1: Elephants on Acid (Published in no other than Science)
#2: Obedience
#3: Demikhov’s Two-Headed Dogs
#4: The Initiation of Heterosexual Behavior in a Homosexual Male
#5: The Isolated Head of a Dog
#6: Human-Ape Hybrid
#7: The Stanford Prison Experiment
#8: Facial expressions while decapitating a rat
#9: The Vomit-Drinking Doctor
#10: Beneficial Brainwashing
#11: Monkey-Head Transplant
#12: The Remote-Controlled Bull
#13: The Ape and the Child
#14: “My Fingernails Taste Terribly Bitter”
#15: The Electrification of Human Corpses
#16: Seeing Through Cat’s Eyes
#17: Stimuli Eliciting Sexual Behavior in Turkeys
#18: “Would You Go To Bed With Me Tonight?”
#19: Shock the Puppy
#20: Heartbeat At Death

I need a vacation
Yesterday I realized I need a vacation, when instead of asking if a party was open bar, I said
"Open Access"....
On the other hand, will I be able to relax on my vacations?
