... a biologist when

You open the toothpaste with one hand.
You wash your hands before and after using to the washroom.
When you hear tween, you think of the surfactant not the age group.
For you, media is something which increases your culture.
You can identify organs on roadkills.
You have a callus on your thumb.
You use the word "aliquot" in regular sentences.
Sometimes you momentarily vanish from social activities because of a timepoint.
You've never worn a clean lab coat.
You don't fear rodents, rodents fear you.
You say "orders of magnitude" in regular sentences.
You flinch when you hear the word "significant".
Showing up at 10AM and having a coffee is a productive day.
You can't stand god-like physicians, while secretly wishing you had their job.
You're very good at diluting things.
You're also very good at transferring small amounts of liquid between containers.
You are fed up of people saying alcohol, when they mean ethanol.
You hear the word ‘Molar’ and teeth are the last thing on your mind.
You say “conjugation” instead of “sex”, and "pili" sounds dirty.
SOB is not an insult, it's what you grow your bugs in.
You say "mills" and "megs".
No-one in your family has any idea what you do.
You can make a short film in power point.
You consider a green laser pointer to be science bling.
A falcon is not a bird....
And you have 5 of them with different types of water.
When your fruits go bad and you get fruit flies, you can't help but check their eye colour
You own invitrogen t-shirts and actually wear them.
You think that drosophila geneticists have a good sense of humour.
You refer to your children as the F1 (I LOVE this one:-)).
You've suffered carpal tunnel from the pipetman.
You've used kimwipes as kleenex.
A timer clipped to the hip is not only practical, but dead sexy.
You've played Battleship using tip boxes.
The front pages of Science is your light reading.
You think the following is a quality insult: "I've seen cells more competent than you!".
The scent of latex reminds you of work, not play.
You're looking for a cooking book by maniatis.
You've made dry ice grenades (so true:-)).
You've lost many friends to ice grenades...

From here.

This is sooooo true! ;)

Política via FB

Irrita-me à brava esta nova mania dos políticos comunicarem connosco com mensagens via FB... Irrita-me quase tanto como o conteúdo da última mensagem do PM.

Balloons of Bhutan, by Jonathan Harris

The first TED talk I ever saw was by Jonathan Harris, on the We Feel Fine project. I pay attention to everything by Jonathan Harris ever since.

He has just published a new website called Balloons of Bhutan, on his project about happiness in Bhutan. You can hear about this project in this other TED talk and/or (even better!) explore the brand new site. It is a great web usability experience, there are tons of beautiful photos and I bet it will make you smile.

Go play!

"Working" while sleeping

Esta noite, sonhei que estava num congresso. Na noite anterior, sonhei que estava a discutir o projecto com a chefe. Será que é hoje que vou dormir à séria?

Doclisboa 2011

Não consegui vir cá no dia certo, mas vocês sabem todos que já começou e que isto só dura uma semana, não sabem?? É aproveitar, minha gente, enquanto "o mundo todo cabe em Lisboa". O programa completo está aqui.

Será que o meu filho tem sunday blues?

Eu sei que é mais provável que sejam novos dentes, mas parecia mesmo mau feitio de Domingo.

Quem sai aos seus...

Doc Lisboa 2011

O programa de 2011 saiu hoje e está aqui.

Agora é escolher, tentar criar um horário bom para ver todos os seleccionados e comprar os bilhetes quanto antes para evitar as filas que as bilheteiras terão.

Nós não podemos ir este ano... Vão vocês e contem-me tudo!
