From looking up nerdy pick-up lines online

Yes, yes I did.  Inspired by KR's post on my Facebook wall.  Some were just lame, some were not PG-rated.  Here are a few of the ones that made the cut!

"I wish I were adenine so I could get paired with U."

"You're so hot, you denature my proteins" 

"Wana form a synapse with me and exchange neurotransmitters?" 

From KR's Facebook wall post

"You must be a good benzene ring because you are pleasantly aromatic."

NASA Scientists Plan to Approach Girl by 2018

I just had to repost this video.  It's so ridiculous, I couldn't stop laughing!  

Warning: This is an insanely nerdy, highly and unnecessarily technical take on a relatively simple, everyday kinda thing.  

Thanks to Dr. Stemp for sending me this video!  And thanks to Hulu and The Onion News Network for hosting this!

While studying for advanced biochemistry

I have my first advanced biochemistry exam tomorrow morning, so I'm obviously trying to study (and obviously failing).  I'm just so darn distracted and not focused at all!  Conveniently enough, my best friend called.  *puts notes down*  (yesss...)  

Halfway through the conversation:

Me: So I'm studying these biochemical pathways and they are just AMAZING!

Nathan: I literally almost hung up on you just now after you said that.

Sooo this is ME... No, really.  I literally went "WHOA" after I went over one of the pathways.  These molecular interactions are so ridiculously beautiful and perfect and amazing, I mean they're happening in our bodies RIGHT NOW without us even knowing!  Learning about all this, it's impossible for me to think organisms just "happened" organically, out of nothing, without a Creator who purposely crafted this magnificent design.  I love this stuff!  What else do you expect from a biochemistry major?  Biochemistry... yeee son!

A Typical Lab Whiteboard

Being the slacker that I am (...ha.), I've recently been working on my summer research applications (due by Monday?  Gah...).  I'm particularly interested in Sloan-Kettering for some reason.  (I really hope I get in.  Not gonna lie, I'd be pretty sad if I don't.)  Anywhooo, I was browsing through their current research labs to see which ones I was interested in joining and I came across this picture.  It was posted as part of the David Allis Lab webpage and I just had to stop and admire this incredibly intense scientific vomit.  (In contrast, my lab usually has this kinda stuff on our board.)  I just had to post this... Ironically, this is also a representation of the internal state of my brain and thought processes this week.
