WHO'S BETTER AT SCIENCE: METSFANMAX OR GTU CHEERLEADERS?

[saxitoxin]

GEORGIA TECH CHEER SQUAD

Members of the Georgia Tech dance team swabbed the bottoms of their shoes, their cell phones, and even underneath the seats at Bobby Dodd Stadium to collect microbes.

Believe it or not, the Georgia Tech dancers will load all that material up, and launch it into space!

"The purpose of this whole experiment is to see how diff microbes grow in space versus how they grow here on earth," said dancer Shelby Bottoms. Bottoms is also an aerospace engineering student at Georgia Tech. "We swabbed railings, we swabbed seats where students sit during the games, we swabbed where the football players sit [??? ] ," Bottoms said.

All those microbes will be loaded up onto the Space X Falcon 9 rocket and launched into space where they'll be studied at the International Space Station.

METSFANMAX

So for every other snack food, this is called a vending machine -- but with cupcakes, it's an ATM?!

They all look like Bottoms to me.

Good call. They might break your hip if they rode ya. Har har har.

speaking of science, I'm doing my muon lifetime lab now. Mets, did you ever do this lab?

No. I took the astro lab instead of the physics grad lab so I didn't have to do that.

we swabbed seats where students sit during the games, we swabbed where the football players sit ," Bottoms said.

It didn't need the boldface and underlining. The idea of Bottoms swabbing where people sit jumps out by itself.

I WAS TRYING to determine if "we swabbed where the football players sit" meant they swabbed the benches, or they swabbed the players' asses.

Later, though, you may not be? That's rough.

Question 3: What is the BCS theory of superconductivity?
Question 4: Why are Cepheid variable stars so important historically?
Question 5: Why is it a good idea to send butt bacteria into space?

Biology
Question 1: What is the problem in defining a species?
Question 2: Describe the process of translation, in some detail.
Question 3: How would go about proving genotype-phenotype causation?
Question 4: What are the hallmarks of cancer?
Question 5: Why is it a bad idea to send butt bacteria into space?

Chemistry

Question 2: Compare and contrast the Molecular Orbital and Orbital Hybridization theories
Question 3: Describe the difficulties in x-ray crystallography of proteins
Question 4: How does Hemoglobin a in humans work?
Question 5: Why did the discovery of graphene take so long?

General Science

Copout Question (Can replace any of the above 20): What is the most elegant experiment that you like?

[Metsfanmax]

Physics
Question 1: Define a triple-point - What happens when you get the ball in the basket from behind the arc
Question 2: Describe what happens to helium, starting at 4 K, and gradually getting colder until as close to 0 as has been observed - It is used to keep fucking magnets cold
Question 3: What is the BCS theory of superconductivity? - I don't know, something about Cooper pairs and shit
Question 4: Why are Cepheid variable stars so important historically? - I hear it has something to do with finding the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud. I'm not sure what that thing is but how hard can it be to figure how far away a cloud is?
Question 5: Why is it a good idea to send butt bacteria into space? - It will make Sir Mix-a-Lot happy

Biology
Question 1: What is the problem in defining a species? - Abortion opponents use this incorrectly in their arguments
Question 2: Describe the process of translation, in some detail. - You drive to the bookstore, get a dictionary, pay for the dictionary, drive home, find the document you wish to translate, and look up each word and find its replacement in the other language. That is sufficient detail for me.
Question 3: How would go about proving genotype-phenotype causation? - Cloning
Question 4: What are the hallmarks of cancer? - You have an x-ray imaging session and then a doctor holds up a negative against a bright white screen and tells you that you have cancer
Question 5: Why is it a bad idea to send butt bacteria into space? - They really couldn't even get Clemson butt bacteria?

Chemistry
Question 1: Describe entropy, and how it relates to osmolarity - Things like randomness, and the more random you are the easier you can pass through surfaces
Question 2: Compare and contrast the Molecular Orbital and Orbital Hybridization theories - Orbital hybridization is better because it sounds like it's compromising
Question 3: Describe the difficulties in x-ray crystallography of proteins - Proteins aren't crystals
Question 4: How does Hemoglobin a in humans work? - It carries oxygen in the blood
Question 5: Why did the discovery of graphene take so long? - Because no one thought to put Scotch tape on graphite before 2004

General Science
Question 1: What is the best evidence for plate tectonics? - Matching fossils on the South America and Africa coasts -- take that, young earth creationists
Question 2: What are the assumptions in an ANOVA test? - That statistics can sometimes give you the right answer
Question 3: What are the most prominent scientific journals? - Salon.com
Question 4: Can science define morality? - No.
Question 5: What are the assumptions underlying the scientific method? - That statistics can always give you the right answer
