@ProfAntIsles @Mad_Lancaster @Nature @ChiaradiaIlaria @laupellegrini I would need another 15-part thread to document the review process of this paper. Including an appeal.

@brainotopia Let me know what you think 😉

Best science fair project ever! Do cats' buttholes touch surfaces in the house? Student applied red lipstick to the orifice and saw where it was deposited. Result: no worries in general, though shorthairs may touch butts to laundry or other soft surfaces.

@CEJLovejoy I wouldn't know. Postdoc salary+a child in nursery brings you porridge made on water and offal on Sundays.

A typical lab kitchen fridge:
- expired dairy - check
- coke for late night shifts - check
- unidentified bag with lunch from Sep2020 - check
- Moët&Chandon champagne with floral notes - check

[Iva Kelava @Dabrica]

@CEJLovejoy Potential suspects:
- a hipster PhD student (together with oat milk)
- an unassuming postdoc who recently moved to the UK and didn't realise the price of the thing
- the Director

@glukozica I should get tenure just for regularly matching my tights and shirts to medium sized gloves.

[Iva Kelava @Dabrica]

How do we describe this in the Methods section?

[Iva Kelava @Dabrica]

@glukozica Mind! Blown! 🤯
Such dedication.

[Iva Kelava @Dabrica]

@Shayaq_Abeer That was already tried. This sample is a bit more demanding.

[Iva Kelava @Dabrica]

@quelandries I certainly hope so. If not, then we need to call security.

@vineeth I tought him well 😁

@vineeth We employed a robust method of chromosomal spread which involved: combined hight of researcher+platform>=230cm, bull's eye dropping droplet precision and an aesthetic approach to combining garments.

@vineeth @preibischs @herrsaalfeld @PavelTomancak @MarsOneProject @helenajambor Oh, I will. I will tell him you are thinking about him when discussing red buttons ❤️❤️❤️
