Things that cell biologists shouldn't say in public
Thu 2008-02-14
From a post by Cath Ennis at Nature Network:
Actual conversation in a Glasgow pub during my PhD days:
Me: How’s it going?
Friend: Bad.
Me: How come?
Friend: Another bloody yeast infection.
Me: Another one?! What’s going on?
Friend: Don’t ask me, I wear gloves all the time and it just keeps on happening.
Guy at next table: Snorrrrt cough cough
It suddenly dawns on us that most people don’t think of cell culture problems when they hear the words yeast infection…
