Daaamn! This Science S**t's got Some Swagga...

The words "swagga" and "science" don't normally make it into the same sentence...well, not until now.  "Whatevs!", I hear you shout.  Yes, I admit after my last post stating that "Science is boring", it might seem a little far fetched.  Maybe my boredom/stress is metamorphosing into madness/delusion, well, yes, maybe?!?  But before jumping to that conclusion, take a look at the evidence...

Defence exhibit A:

Taken from 2010 exam paper
Fo' sho' Arabidopsis knows that shh.  FYI, Arabidopsis thaliana is one hell of model plant - it's the King of the lab - if you want to know anything about plants, you go to him for answers.

Defence exhibit B:


Those calcium (Ca2+) ions be mackin'.  Good to see that the authors of this paper - Hetherington & Brownlee (Annu. Rev. Plant Biol. 2004. 55:401-427) - know how it goes down.

Defence exhibit C:


Science Kitty has some serious ice round her neck, in the form of a molecule of resveratrol - a phenolic compound found in abundance in red wine, especially in Pinot Noir.  Representin' fo' Wine Science!

So, there it is.  Science got swagga pumping out it's Gilson pipette.

xXx
