Odyssey
I'm a molecular biophysicist in a biochemistry department. In a college of medicine. And I'm funded by the NSF. Not too sure my dean likes that... I'm here to blather on about things that interest me and to raise the average age of the bloggers here by at least 1.2567 years. And I'm Australian.
My posts are presented as opinion and commentary and do not represent the views of LabSpaces Productions, LLC, my employer, or my educational institution.

Unpaid internships are a systemic labor exploitation scam- yes, in science labs too.
I knew that title would get your attention.
Just can't resist an expensive, sugar-laden coffee drink, can you?
Hopefully you haven't had to resist syphilis...
Now watch this (somewhat NSFW):

I just spit coffee onto my keyboard (it was not a caramel mocha, and I will run home). You rock. That is all.
Save your ass from that mocha and some kids from the syphillus.
I think DonorsChoose might have a new slogan 
Gosh but I don't think anyone on twitter has ever typed the word "syphilis" more in one day than I have today. Since you're not on there, thought I'd share this LOL, inspired by you.
I was wondering if those were nipples!
I am so jealous of your movie-making-awesome-hairdo-avatar self. I would try it myself, but I would just fall short by comparison. As I mentioned before, you rock.
@antipodean:
Alright smart-arse, so I can't spell syphilis. I've corrected it. Now, for being such a smart-arse (and using an LOL cats avatar) I'm expecting an especially large donation to Donors Choose from you.
@Nikkilina and G-Z:
They're not nipples! Just very badly placed buttons. They do chafe the nipples...
@Dr. Becca:
Thanks! I don't do the Twitter thing, so it's much appreciated.
@G-Z and Dr. Becca:
Making the movie isn't that hard. Probably the hardest part is getting the computer-generated voice to pronounce things correctly - some words have to spelled out phonetically.
@Everyone:
Thanks!
Hey that me ^ Not syphilis guy, but that tweet. :-)
Definitely look like nipples and belly-button. Is that one of those painted on outfits that the models wear? Sex sells...
well, not sex with syph in the ad.
I will NOT be held responsible for giving little kids syphilis. Donor's choose schools are all public schools right, not Catholic ones?
/extremely bad person
@Jason Goldman well, the poverty level of the school (defined as % of kids qualifying for free /reduced lunch) is given as info with the projects; the majority of projects are needy kids in that sense, but not necessarily all. Though it looks like 2/3 of the ones in the supplied link are 'high poverty', and the other one is just 'data unavailable'.
But yes, they are public schools (though I think some are charter schools).
None of which should have anything to do with syphilis.

Unless they're using a broken coke bottle for a microscope.
