All mimsy was mRNA...

wow... if you're nerdy like us, you'll love this. This is not a joke. It is a real instructional video made by some students at the Department of Chemistry of UCSD in 1971. We found out about it because a "friend of a friend" actually saw this in class recently. The prof said he has yet to find a better way to explain protein synthesis... you be the judge, but we know we'll never forget again! It might help if you're drunk...

Crazy hippies...

  2. ......

    wow.

    Its like Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss, and Marthah Grahm got together with the creators of Sesame Street, smoked a kilo or two of pot, drank some absinthe, munched on a few shrooms, and decided "Hey - let's describe protein synthesis..."
