Neuroscience exists in the same realm as rocket science; you say something isn't it when it's easy. "Yeah, man, I can fix your internet connection. It's not neuroscience." | Neuroscience exists in the same realm as rocket science; you say something isn't it when it's easy. "Yeah, man, I can fix your internet connection.

In 2005 Knox got paid off (1 million US dollars) by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to set up a Neuroscience program. For some reason, we hired Esther Penick to head up the new department despite the fact that she thinks you can wet a nitrocellulose membrane with methanol when performing a Western blot. LOL. Anyway, it might have something to do with the fact that she's pretty much the most well-published faculty member at Knox (having been published in both ''Science'' and ''Nature''). |

If Esther is being mean to you or is asking why you did not complete an assignment, try saying, "Methanol," or, "Esther I hear your lab was subsidized by the Fisher Price company," or, "Electrophysiology? Who cares?" All of these comments will probably send her into apoplexy. |
'''Field Trips''' - If the past few years are any indication, you get to go to several Neuroscience-related conferences if you just bother Esther and/or Heather about it. Remember -- ethanol isn't just a polar solvent -- it's also a minimally toxic psychoactive compound! | '''Field Trips''' - If the past few years are any indication, you get to go to several Neuroscience-related conferences if you just bother Esther and/or Heather about it.
