Thanks to Elizabeth E for this shot from Fringe (Season 2, episode 2). 

SOOOO many things wrong here. I am calling this particular technique, “French kissing for the 1st time.” Sloppy, overdone, and not very satisfying for anyone. This is pipetting done wrong. Also, this is why we wear gloves people..to protect ourselves from the oozing science! Not sure what’s going on here, but it’s flu season around my house and whatever he’s pipetting looks mostly like what me and my children have been coughing up that last few days (yes, we all got the vaccine). 

Those who know me well know that I used to work at Taco Bell from 1996 to 1996. I will cherish the memories of chalupas and taco supremes forever, as well as the stellar pipetting techniques I learned there.

I’m back after a brief 4 year hiatus! The Google doodle is wrong. DO NOT MOUTH PIPETTE!

Ok, I was emailed about these shirts. At first I was like, “I will not be your shill !!!!’ However, this one made me laugh because I like both pie (apple) and pets (I have 3, endless fur). You can win this, or something. http://solutions.pipette.com/neuroscience-promo-t-shirts/

Here is a woman that is entirely confident in her pipetting abilities. I hope that isn’t methyl mercury or some such thing. Thanks to http://corkescrews.tumblr.com/ for the tip.

Ok. Under most circumstances, jabbing a pipette into your friend will not revive them. However, this seems to work in Farscape. I love the dude’s reaction at the end….apparently dude’s breath is off.

Thanks to follower Tall Kat who sent in this submission and, apparently, is tall.
