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
Impact Factor
The 3rd Reviewer
The Et al's
The Knockouts
FISH and ChIP
The BLAST
The Spliceosomes
Loading Control
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.
