Enough to Melt Tigers to Butter

Forgot about posting this little guy. (Taken with instagram)

How I feel right now. 5 more days! 

You probably recognize her as the featured singer on Gotye’s “Somebody that I Used to Know,” but she’s got a set of lungs that deserves recognition beyond that. 

It’s official! I have a studio on the UES for June.

I am dying to write up about my sublet experience, which can be summed up with: French Sikh. But of course, I have another microbio exam on Monday (3 more tests left this month!)

The photo above is NOT in NYC, but rather Philly. The crew for Dead Man Down was shooting on Walnut St between 16th and 17th when S and I were dragging our heels for a cookie macaron break. The street signs were even covered (made finding Miel Patisserie slightly difficult) with these fake NY plates.

Fact: Researchers are conducting a study on Francisella tularensis by measuring the concentration of bacterial agent in the air.

Fact: F. tularensis is commonly found in rabbits. 

Fact: An individual was infected with the aerosolized agent after running over a dead rabbit with his lawnmower. 

**Redaction: Earlier I had written Brucella melitensis, which is not commonly found in rabbits. Instead, it is found most commonly in goats. “melaaaaaaaaa-tensis.” 

All that microbiology teaches me is to be afraid of animals because they carry deadly pathogens. Prairie dogs, which are quite popular here, carry Yersinia pestis AKA plague. 

Photos taken at Prairie Dog Town at MacKenzie Park in Lubbock, TX. S and I unknowningly wagged baby carrots at these filthy things. However, my favorite one is in the third photo, and I still want to take him home.

Look! Eyelash mite butts! Aren’t they cute?

This has to be my favorite picture from The New Yorker slideshow “Radium and Lab Cats.”
