HELA are officially banned from my lab/culture room. When necessary - done elsewhere. Those things jump dishes and contaminate EVERYTHING (also see: sterile culture and unfortunate grad students) :-)

Hi, a little late to the party on this one but, on balance, they probably won’t have any problems legally with this suit.

I thought he might be guilty in the US under the Lacey Act (?)

I perform research in the areas of pregnancy and neonatal/pediatric disease. I hear exactly what you’re saying. Every donation is precious beyond belief. Thanks for stating it so eloquently.

Thank you - perfect answer. You are my internet hero for today :-)

Along with Woody Allen & Roman Polanski

GOOGLING THINGS IS NOT “RESEARCH”. You. Total. Moron.

Oh dear God, how can you conflate the most unethical medical experiment in US history (which was badly performed scientifically as well, BTW) with all of the thousands of well-designed and ethical vaccine studies. Stop being so obtuse.

Ha ha ha, I have the same. As a Pharmacologist, I’m always being told abut how “Drug X just doesn’t work for me”. or “I live a drug and chemical free life”. LOL

Please take one *pharmacology* course … there, fixed it for ya.

Oh thank you for this. I laughed out loud long and hard. Your dad is a legend!

OMG, I’m a Kiwi and you just made my day! Laugh out loud funny (and accurate) :-)

Ummm, I think you win the internet for “twatwaffle”… fantastic!

Nop, likely not Paquin, but she sounds like she was acting horribly there. Only a complete dick would ash a cigarette on a person.

Ummmmm, Anna Paquin is from New Zealand and she went to school there. She wouldn’t know 5th grade from a freshman - when she was a child NZ used “standards (1-6)” and “forms (1-7)”. And yes, before you yell at me, NZ has 13 years of schooling.

Wow … 1.4M in state taxes and 3-5M in donations. Seriously, in one year that is more than most people make in their lifetimes. And this was LAST YEAR for Mr. King. Bless.

I know, right? The rapey-ist lyricist ever that then tried NOT to take responsibility in court … because: vicodin. Robin Thicke needs to disappear from the public eye for a few millennia.

Tell that to Tiffany’s
