What is Science?</h1> <article> <h1>What is Science?</h1> <p>Dr Tel — Mon, 28 May 2012 08:39:52 +0000</p> Dreaming of Science I had that dream again last night. You know the one – well if you are scientist you will. It’s the dream where you are teetering on the edge of making a great discovery, where the final pieces are falling into place, where the puzzle is almost complete and you will soon [...]<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=SBJnDYJl2gg:1M0FYP9vHZI:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=SBJnDYJl2gg:1M0FYP9vHZI:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=SBJnDYJl2gg:1M0FYP9vHZI:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=SBJnDYJl2gg:1M0FYP9vHZI:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=SBJnDYJl2gg:1M0FYP9vHZI:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>3D Cell Culture</h1> <p>Dr Tel — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:08:19 +0000</p> The introduction of 3D culturing for tissue culture will open exciting new avenues for ultrastructural morphology<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=PFkzTwIcn6M:cU3cepUFNmE:yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=PFkzTwIcn6M:cU3cepUFNmE:dnMXMwOfBR0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=PFkzTwIcn6M:cU3cepUFNmE:7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=PFkzTwIcn6M:cU3cepUFNmE:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/labface/RKre?a=PFkzTwIcn6M:cU3cepUFNmE:qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Science Journals – Money for Old Rope</h1> <p>Dr Tel — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:30:03 +0000</p> An eminent professor once asked me, ‘Dr Tel, why do you publish in such rubbish journals?’ Actually he didn’t say ‘rubbish’, but because he is an eminent professor I will moderate his language, lest we all blush.

There is probably no greater evangelist for proper laboratory practise than yours truly, an attitude I had adopted long before what we now call the ‘Ruthenium Tetroxide Incident’.

Number 112 I didn’t balance the rotor on the new centrifuge correctly last week. A cardinal sin. Possibly the cardinal sin!

Cryopreservation is a tricky business. Not just the process, which can be quite involved, but the amount of baggage that comes with it.
