I am all for GMO’s – I mean seriously – half the damn crops we eat today barely resemble the natural parental crop – so whether it is lab generated or generated by intensive growth selection by farmers, the end result is the same. However – some things you don’t mess with. This story for example - http://blog.friendseat.com/kraft-uses-genetically-engineered-growth-hormone/ seems a little disturbing and is certainly worth reading into. The recombinant growth hormone fed to cattle in the US dairy industry generally would not be a good thing. particularly if the higher IGF-1 levels are significant.
Also – how evil does my cat look in this picture. He looks kind of posessed.
Two funny videos from youtube:
and a bit of fun/cruelty…
Oh and don’t forget this one from the ch10 news desk.
In other random news – invitrogen now has the fluorescence spectra viewer as an app for iOS. The ipad2 came out and it has a pretty cool cover – the other updates are less than expected.
My phone bill is expensive.. my cat is crazy. i’m off to adelaide for four days and I seem to still have a job – albeit with a lot of hardcore microscopy.
I have foxtel – yay for full res sports rather than B grade streams that constantly cut out.
And yeah – science is still as despressive as ever… well life is lately too – but c’est la vie.
