and your first thought is not 'FLICE-associated huge protein, what a cool name for a protein and I wish I worked on apoptosis', but 'What the hell is Flash doing in PNAS?'

The papers it is talking about are back to back in the most recent PNAS.

By the way, I don't wish I worked on apoptosis — I find it incredibly tedious (possibly because of the over-exposure it's had in the last ten years) and could not work in a field where 96% of the workers can not even pronounce it properly.

Oh my... after listnening to the wonders of apoptosis during the _whole_ group meeting today I don't know... It seems like "such an interesting field with possibilities of being high profile researcher with publications in Nature and other wonderous journals".

Yes, I might be slightly sarcastic but I do love my bacteria - although not apoptosis in cells... even though p53 might be interesting in small doses.

Hah! Completely forgotten about that!

Silly thing is I can remember just about all of the theme song, along with the 'all weapons! *zap* *zwip* *Spoosh*' bits. Sad . . .
