Probably not the actual lyrics

You know how, sometimes, even though you know what you’re hearing cannot possibly be the real lyrics to the song, your brain really can’t figure out what they ought to be? Well, this is what my brain heard recently:

In my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind we’ve gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on PCR.

From “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles.

Something tells me my brain would not have come up with this had I not been listening to the song in lab.

With appologies to Jane Austen

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a new PI in possession of a large grant must be in want of a post-doc.

Misquote of the day

For aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of scientific research never did run smooth

–With apologies to Shakespeare
