chinese food vs. science!?
November 3rd, 2009 by Lawrence David
a hilarious exchange took place today with one of the folks processing my gut microbiome samples:
lab member: uh, lawrence, i’m not quite sure how to tell you this … we’re having some issues filtering particulate matter out of your samples. have you been eating a lot of seeds lately?
me: well, i’ve been eating at the asian food truck and having sesame chicken this past week.
lab member: sesame seeds! so that’s what’s been clogging our filters! can you please stop eating chinese food?!
You’re doing your thesis on your own gut microbiome?! HARD CORE. ^_^
