Ah, me...does anyone else remember when western blotting was young? Anyone??

And just BTW, if you use a capital W, you are wrong, and need to be harshly disciplined. Especially if you are Reviewer No. 2 😡

Viva, viruses; viva! 😁 Well done, Emma!!

Just had occasion to gently remind someone via reviewing a ms. that articles published in 1981 are still relevant - especially when they describe virion purification protocols that are considerably easier, cheaper and less toxic than versions published 25 years later! 😎

With a hell of a shout, it's "Out, comrades, out!"
And the rise of the admin’s fall

Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
You don't get me, I'm part of the union
Until the day I die, until the day I die

There's a song for that - apologies to The Strawbs 😁

Well, I’m in the Union, man
Amazed at what I am
I say what I think, that the salaries stink
Yes, I'm doing what I can
When we meet in the Uni hall
I'll be voting with them all...

Given that my biometrics are on record in France, Germany, Latvia, Portugal, Russia AND the UK - think visa requirements - and have been for >10 years, my heart bleeds for the poor Brits. Poor, poor Brits.

Yea, they're findable online.
I only tried 3. Got them. The versions online are typically a bit faded and one shows a scan of a corrugated page.
I spruced the colours a bit.
So you can make posters or desktop wallpapers, etc.
