Lab tech.
I've been working with pluripotent stem cells since 1991.
I spent the last few years almost single-handedly making, expanding, and cryopreserving over a thousand induced pluripotent stem cell lines from 200 patients. For that I was rewarded with being fired when I asked a co-"worker" to stop taking credit for my work. I guess I too should have spent my days on facebook, shopping online, and stroking the boss' "ego" instead of doing my actual job.
Now I am in a new lab converting iPS cells into neurons. My workload is 1/20 of that of my previous job, and I am not allowed to work more than 40 hours a week. I'm working on trying to remember how to have a life.
Below is something my wife and I made. I got a skin biopsy from Nightline's Bill Weir, isolated fibroblasts from it, and reprogrammed them into iPS cells. Then my wife differentiated the iPS cells into cardiac tissue.

So what you're really saying is that he was wearing his heart in his sleeve? Originally Posted by Utopian

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
