You can spot a protein chemist/molecular biologist who is also a parent by his or her reaction to the smell of bugs grown in minimal media.
Your non-parent will probably say "Ew, stinky" with a side-order of an attempt at description. The parent, on the other hand, will immediately file the smell alongside breast-fed baby's nappy. The nappies that look like they have mustard or sesame seeds in them.

I was geekily proud to know 58.44, and would have to side with the opposing faction on the potassium/sodium alphabetizing issue (under K and N? are you kidding me?), but this time, I'm quite glad to be in the "Ew, stinky" crowd.
