This post contains SCIENCE

Fuck yeah, science.

Also, though I cannot really speak in detail about it here, I may be on to something big.

I need to get to bed; I have to be up at ass o'clock to go on a "field trip" to the Salt River. Yes, it is also for science, but not my science--observing someone else's science for my undergraduate research program. I know the heat is going to make me grateful that I'm a lab rat and not a field rat.

YEAH SCIENCE! I'm still trying to figure out why food dye would reduce spinal inflammation here. And the fact that it's blue is actually sort of cute, though I don't know about seeing blue humans on the street.

Brilliant Blue G? I think... I think I might have fed large amounts of that to my fruit flies as an undergraduate; it was the dye we used to label their food because it was visible through the intact abdomen, and didn't seem to significantly affect their preferences in the dark.

Well, so much for the hope that it's probably pharmacologically inactive.

I saw that research article last night...

I'm kinda skeptical about it... Because if that thing works... what the hell have my lab been doing!? (Well, not "my" lab)

Yeah, I've been working in a lab that's studying a therapeutic mean to treat transverse myelitis. LOL, maybe I should try this on mice, too.

The blue color makes them look really cold, but also adorable. I'm terribly curious about how that would work.

Love the science but mostly, I'm going: omgthosemicearesocute.

...and this is why I cannot go into animal-based research. ;-;

Aww, Blue mice.
Well Lauren when you break life's code and find the meaning of life I expect a phone call. Then we can go get drinks.
It's awesome to hear you are making progress. Continue venturing where no... Uh.. Lauren has gone before.
