We're starting up a post-doc group in the Cage. We have already had one successful pub meeting, and are planning further events. It is not intended to be a political group, a post-doc union such as you find in the US, but a more of a social/support network. The students have an active social calendar, under the name 'Amoeba'. Nothing similar existed for the backbone of the Cage's research efforts, so we decided to organize ourselves, and decided on the name 'Nematoda' (a tad more advanced and hopefully more organized).
The sentence "A free-swimming roundworm thus looks rather like it is thrashing about aimlessly" also seems depressingly appropriate.
We have a name, so we need a logo. There's a competition running for one. Earlier in the week I came across a lovely picture of a nematode with teeth;
and realized that the mouthparts could easily be modified to reflect the Cage's initials. Here, then, is my entry to the logo competition:
Bwah hah hah.

By default, maybe.
Time for a reminder. . .

so. Successful amoeba functions= countless. Successful Nematoda functions=one. Are you sure your as tough and 'organised' as you seem.
