This, and the actual PCR song, is actually a sneak peak into the biotech mind.

We really are that nerdy.*

*You haven't seen insane until you've seen a 50-year-old tech sing along to heavy metal while pipetting (and headbanging) to the beat.

[littlegrabbiZZ9PZA]

Oh, and I forgot something: Chair Grand Prix, which involves rolling chairs, tablets of lab equipment and samples, and a small horde of slightly bored techs.

[jjanczy62]

@littlegrabbiZZ9PZA the grad students do that too, don't forget us

Is heavy metal *the* scientists' official soundtrack? Here in the lab (Santiago, Chile) everyone listens to heavy metal too O_O

[theapsaras]

I'd say so, though the new kids are listening to crappy music nowadays. We try to educate them but apparently one can't stop progress :S

[jjanczy62]

@rdpcl that's what we listen to in my lab as well

[jjanczy62]

@littlegrabbiZZ9PZA how about a 40 year old tech pipettig and listening the Dead?

[nhojmabon]

hehe this is awesume!

[nogwardo]

Haha why does that guy look so surprised at 2:30?

[Johalenth]

Nerdy as hell. Have to agree that I'm as nerdy as them as well. Only I have no voice ;)

[giantsockmonkey]

Same here. Haha! :P

[awiaNo1]

here too... :)

[GeneGoddess]

Excellent! It's almost better than the final product. But we want to know who everyone is!

[DeadlyArcAngel]

I know! That is bugging the hell out of me! I'd really like to know if they are actors or whatever, or actual scientists. Being scientists would make it that much more awesome!
