Seriously, what are they thinking? If even this election result cannot give the Dems a spine, then we're lost...

In the movie theater, when that scientist in Prometheus tried to pet a cobra-like hissing alien as through it were a kitten, I remember thinking, "Why do scriptwriters keep giving us these unbelievably moronic scientists who are just begging for horrific deaths...?"

This reflection comes on the heels of having just watched Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein, which is excellent as well, though Pan's Labyrinth is at a pinnacle that's unlikely to be touched.

Particularly disappointing because the first half hour was so well-constructed and terrifying.

Part of the problem may be aesthetics. Older journals have website designs, font choices, and an overall PDF "look" that just seems blah and outdated and very "20th century" (I've had students comment on this during journal club). The C/N/S titles look "sleek" and modern and pleasing to the eye...

Our lab does a ton of FKBP tagging, so that's always an option... The specific question I have though relates to whether we can use existing GFP-and Halo-tagged lines and mouse models for degradation (without having to add new tags).
