liz and angelique are graduate student researchers in greg hannon's lab. from them i learned many things. for example, i learned how radiation can spread throughout a lab on your shoe, should you accidentally drop some of it on the floor and then walk over it. i learned that despite their reluctance to admit it, every lab does in fact seem to have ominous looking lab coats and a steady supply of dry ice. liz (on the left) also seems obsessed with tasmanian devils, of all things. actually, more specifically, she's obsessed with a certain kind of mouth tumor that often affects tasmanian devils. she has even gone so far to have in the fridge there a sample of a tasmanian devil tumor that she salvaged from roadkill. that's dedication. she also asked me a question i never thought about before: "would you like to see a mouse testicle?" it was less impressive than i was expecting.
