- Grabbing whatever poor sap* happens to be closest to me by the lapels, shaking them and screaming this in their face because THIS! THIS! THIS!!!! *who already knows/agrees because otherwise they wouldn’t be within grabbing distance. Sorry to them. But it makes me SCREAMMMMM.
- You have to do the experiment!! I’m almost entirely limited to PCR assays to identify/detect viruses (which is WAY simpler than drug design!) but when I talk to LMRs about designing those primers/probes, I say you just have to try them. Because what “should” work frequently doesn’t!
- These dogs live for “take it”. The red one will never “put it down” while the black one is around, or his ball is instantly grabbed. Black one’s mouth can hold TWO BALLS. And black one will look at you so happily, tail wagging away, chewing his ball while you command “put it down”. For ages.
