Another meme

I can't stop laughing. I want to print this off and use it as a Christmas card for my batshit Fox-loving family.

Rage meme

Look I can make pictures based on a popular meme template like everyone else! This was me in the old lab last year and pretty much me now when I pass through the main campus:

Why I hate seeing computational specialists

I finally saw a bioinformatics specialist yesterday to seek advice on our project. He kept asking about stuff that was not applicable to our data set even after I explained it repeatedly over the course of nearly an hour- okay, fine, whatever.

He ended up looking up our sample type on wikipedia (argh, wikipedia) and he read it to me aloud, which has ALL OF THE INFORMATION I JUST TOLD HIM. He lingers on the part about the commonly associated genetic aberration, which is pretty much verbatim what I had told him several times before. He says that the genetic marker must be the point of our project - no way, wooooah! Better send that to Nature, dude! Great deduction.

Then he asks me if I understand what copy number means. I say yes, of course I do. He ignores me and then tells me very slowly that "we have two chromosomes, one from mom and one from dad but sometimes we have extra or missing copies..."

Wow, I'm so glad someone finally cleared that up for me after three years of genetics research. NOTE MY EFFING SARCASM.
