“There’s nothing better than a Sick Pape.”

[Tanentzapf Lab @TanentzapfLab]

I love finding a paper published years ago (5, 10, 15, 20) that isn't famous or field changing or has a ton of citations but when you read it is just awesome. Like, beautifully designed & executed & written. Best part there are so many papers like that lurking in the literature.

We would argue that the correct term for “creating stable odour landscapes” is “waft-scaping”

A new tool enables researchers to create stable odour landscapes for the study of chemotaxis in small animals. https://t.co/yLxWlWeMXL

We want to give a major shout out to all the giraffoids out there with helmet-like headgear who are currently engaging in intense head-butting

Similarly, the #SickPapes Board of Directors has long advocated that every CV should have an “abhorrences” section to list the things that authors abhor

[Tanentzapf Lab @TanentzapfLab]

Every paper should have a small section at the end called "Author speculation" where the authors get a paragraph or two to say anything they want about what they think the results mean without reviewer input & it's made abundantly clear that this is wild speculation on their part

Legendary - shout out to everyone who keeps utterly illegible lab notebooks that are covered in extremely dangerous contaminants

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.

Types of #SICKPAPES - there’s nothing better

It doesn’t get more profoundly sick than isolating Taq from a hot spring in Yellowstone - just think of how many tubes in how many freezers now overflow with the bounty. Rest In Peace, Thomas Brock 🦍

Interesting - to my knowledge this is the first evidence of an animal that doesn’t build its body by screaming

🐳Irrefutable evidence from world’s leading expert on whale phylogenetics, Herman Melville, that dugongs and manatees (pig fish) are NOT whales. (And, that they’re contemptible on account of eating wet hay.) Passport for whale town: DENIED.
