I usually try artic, polar, or underwater documentaries. I love falling asleep to underwater footage - extra points if the narrator has a slow, low-pitch voice. #Groupthink
These 12-14 hr work days and staying on the lab 'til midnight are driving me slowly insane. You know that point in which your bones generally ache and the joints start bitching at you from tiredness and overexertion? I'm there.
I'm also getting very annoyed at having to wait two hours just to be able to push a goddamn button and leave. So I'm here, twiddling my thumbs, too drained to do any more benchwork without fucking it up, and too stupid-tired to read any more papers. Waiting. To push that stupid fucking button and go home, fall asleep, rinse, wash, and repeat. #Groupthink

I used these as emergency food at the beginning of grad school. Most of it sucked thoroughly, but sometimes you're so busy you barely sleep (much less cook), and are stuck in a lab at goddamit AM and need to eat.
I later found these instant soups and ramen from a brand called Dr. McDougall's that are tasty, don't need refrigeration, are way cheaper, and don't have as much sodium. I leave a couple of these and some apples in my lab/office "just in case" and they've made some late nights way less irritating.

I've used HEK293 cells for electrophysiology, as has Mr.B. And yes, they're not stem cells, they're human embryonic kidney cells. The fields of molecular biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and molecular medicine wouldn't be the same without cell lines like these.
Llamas and alpacas are also super stompers! They use them in some farms to protect herds from canids.
My pap smears were truly painful until I found a doctor that, upon realizing this, stopped the procedure, rescheduled, and prescribed a mild muscle relaxant/anxiolytic to take before the new appointment. It made a huge difference.
My mom had only one functioning ovary after having (me followed by) an ectopic pregnancy -that one ovary was full of cysts. The doctors told her she probably wouldn't be having more kids because of it. Well, I have a younger sister...
My youngest sister (from my dad's 2nd marriage) has ovarian cysts. But you can bet your ass we've all told her that she can still get pregnant! As soon as she told us (older sisters) that she was sexually active we convinced her to go to the family OB/GYN and get the pill.

And if they sustain some awful injury during work it's be super duper easy for them to escape poverty while dealing with the resulting disabilities, right?
Didn't you know that having individuals sustain serious bodily injuries during childhood is the best way to ensure they'll be as productive as they could ever be in adulthood?
Replied to promote. Thanks for sharing this info.
Some are, of course, but other... [whispers] others are carbon nanofiber. Those poor, black scaffolds are so rarely adopted.
I'm incredibly tired of the absolute nonsense of using heartbeats as a measure of sentience. We've been putting cardiac cells into different types of meshes and scaffolds and making them beat for years. Do we now have to run save the precious lives of beating polymers?

Before they can sin, even. Isn't it a win/win? =P
Good one! It might also be hilarious to ask if they'll help reduce the industrial amounts of coagulated blood (and the more gore-full the description the better) that comes out (for some) on periods without hormonal BC and if they'll donate blood in case you need a transfusion.
My grandma knew several of the women that were sterilized in PR. Sadly, the chances of them receiving reparations by the state are very close to zero.
Here's a good article about it:
" The glaring poverty rates motivated a government intervention in line with the dominant eugenic discourse of the day. In 1936 Law 116 entered into force making sterilization legal and free for women in Puerto Rico while offering no alternative methods of birth control. The prevailing wisdom was that denial of motherhood was a more effective means of incorporating women into the workforce than affordable childcare. The Puerto Rican government and the International Planned Parenthood Federation ran a sterilization program with US government funding, and by 1968 the program had sterilized roughly one third of Puerto Rican women. Numerous studies have shown that misinformation about the procedure caused high rates or regret among sterilized women. Many women were unaware that the procedure was permanent, due in part to the euphemism of "tying tubes." Additionally, many women had no alternative affordable contraceptive methods, so they opted for sterilization. " [stanford.edu]
Within all oppressed groups you'll find that a segment will side with the oppressors and current social order to gain some amount of power or advantage. They'll police and enforce"within ranks" to retain that semblance of privilege. That makes them cruel, selfish fuckers*, but it doesn't make them worse than the group of people with true power or the massive systems in place that help maintain the power distribution (of which the "enabling oppressed" are just a cog).
*In this case they are monstrous unempathetic, vile, evil pieces of shit instead of just cruel and selfish, but you get the point.
Funnily enough, I first came to Ithaca in 2004, so in part it may be that their endpoint was my starting point with regards to that mall. A nearby mall, Triphammer, was incredibly muribund (less than half of the lots were in use) and now it's almost full with many small local specialty places that make it easier to live nearby and not own a car. Not to mention that there's an awesome re-use center there in which you can buy almost anything you need for your house, including recovered building material. They also repair and sell used computers and train local youth and youth on parole how to fix computers. However, I don't consider these cases to be the most common ones - just neat ones I'm lucky enough to have nearby.
Most of the pharmacists I know had to take systems pharmacology and this is covered in systems pharma. I'm a pharmacology grad and I'll never have patients or clients, but I still had to learn the mechanism of action of the main classes of drugs for most organs and systems*.
I find more likely that she completely ignored what she had to memorize right after the tests and continued with her position, research, data, and evidence notwithstanding. I've also seen that happen with creationist pre-meds taking evolutionary biology.

*I'm my younger sisters' go-to person for advise/information on meds/drugs and I make sure I give them the most accurate info I can. That's in part what pisses me off so much about pharmacists that pull off this kind of crap - telling their patients/clients accurate, up to date info on their medications is an integral part of their jobs.
Manboobz, and the way David takes on MRA misogynistic douchbaggery, is fucking awesome. And there's a post about this post up now: [manboobz.com]
