« An undefinable moment of dread | Main | Young ones »

The Black Queen, as she decanted some SOC this morning, was excited. She demonstrated that she can still unscrew bottles with one hand and keep a decent air gap between cap and both bottles (well, maybe not 'excited' as such, but we have to make our own entertainment in the lab).

Sterile technique, she has it.

And then I thought, wouldn't it be great if we could use the power of our minds to do cell culture?

Never mind the million bucks offered by the Randi Foundation; imagine the money we could make selling Telekinetic Culture Hoods to clumsy cell biologists.

A friend of mine once decided that telekinesis was the only possible way to get her plasmid to ligate. Now there's a talent that would make you money.

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
