What if...

(i) the P.I. had installed a surveillance camera in front of the lab fridge...

 

(ii) well, just hypothetically, the Wildcats had beaten the Jayhawks in Football on Nov. 19, 2006? Then Wolf and Ryan would have gone purple for a day. In reality, KU beat K-State 39-20 instead. So Oz and Christine had a crimson and blue Monday... and immediately started scheeming for revenge in 2007. Ah, a lab divided! (Kristina hasn't declared allegiance yet... Mizzou Tigers anyone?)

2009 Update: Well, all good things must come to an end. K-State finally managed to beat KU, in Manhattan. There was no bet, though (Why? We all saw this one coming!). So NO K-STATE T-SHIRTS FOR WOLF AND RYAN! Sniff! We'll keep the 2006 picture up, to remember the good old times, until the next bet! Christine? Oz? Anyone?
2008 Update: KU won the Orange Bowl (American Football) as well as the NCAA Basketball Championship... the 2007 conclusion still stands.
2007 Update: KU beat K-State again, 30-24, this time at Manhattan. So the photo below is still current.

 

(iii) we moved our lab to South Park? No explanation necessary.

 

Are you...

a PhD student or PI in need of somebody to cheer for or commiserate with? Are you looking to explain the mysteries of the academic universe? Or do you simply need to get your message across in a subtle way? Check out the "Piled Higher & Deeper" comic strip!

 

Lyme disease in the news...

e.g. entymologist Dr. Charles Westfall, author of "The Tick-ing Time Bomb", on the Late Show with David Letterman... (part 1) (part 2)...

or President Bush's (43) Lyme disease symptoms, as explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

 

The overall aim of our research is to publish...

in this prestigious journal!
