Exactly 21 years passed between the original Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA (February 27, 1975) and the release of Pokémon Red/Green (February 27, 1996). To all who attended the recent Spirit of Asilomar conference: you have 21 years to deliver me real Pokémon.

Ciao, Melbourne! It was so much fun to meet you for the first time at @MGE_AUS - a huge thanks to all of the rad attendees and organisers. See you next time with even more cool plasmids in tow ~

med students are like “you can remember that bone marrow is stimulated by interleukin-3 because BONE = 4 letters = fourth letter of alphabet is D = Durham, North Carolina is where my friend Matt lives = Matt threw up in my car 3 times in college = interleukin-3”



We all know that YFP = Yummy Flavoured Protein

If you can't eat the fluorescent proteins why did they give them delicious names like mCherry
