I have a LAKE!

Being named Sylvia is hard.

Nothing is named after you. People like Jude, Roxanne, Tommy and Gina, Jessie, Danny, Julie, Sharona, Rita, Eleanor Rigby, and the like have songs for them. No one has songs, poems, or anything named after Sylvia. The closest famous person I get is Sylvia Plath, and what is she best known for? That's right, killing herself by sticking her head in an oven.

Thankfully, my old boss from CSULA goes hiking and finds this gem!



That's Lake Sylvia and the Crystal Range in the background. It's super lovely since my niece is named Crystal!

I run gels like that!

Jesus, I didn't know my genotyping/PCR digestions can be used as art. Now I have a new way to decorate my apartment! Maybe next time, I'll do a microarray heat map or something.



The art that is found in science reaches beyond this lame gel. Clearly, the artist have not seen images of the flourescently-labelled mitotic spindle and chromosomes aligned on the metaphase plate like such:



If only he knew what other awesome pictures are being captured within the cells just by labelling the right proteins.
