Lab Pranks

Prank 0: Revenge of the Animal Crackers

Prank 1: Where'd All the Chairs Go?

Prank 2: Pop! Goes the Office

Some pranks escaped photographic documentation. Sorry. We're scientists, not professional pranksters (...yet).

These pranks included a giant (drawing of a) mouse skull prep, requiring a powerful punch to bust through the skull and into the office, a photoshopped Neuron article that scooped our big projects, and some other good wholesome activities.

The old, low-visibility bike

The new, high-visibility bike. So safe!
