Homely Scientist

I am a scientist too!

I found this YouTube video on b5’s new Searching Bones blog (about the show Bones). I love the show, despite the fact that the Kathy Reichs’ books are rather different.

But hey, how often can I watch a show and know if the science is wonky or not? Heck I bet I could go head to head with Hodges on pollen identification. Back in the day I had an easy 200-300 types in my head that I could positively ID without checking a reference. Push to 500+ the ones that I was pretty sure of. Of course the price I paid for spending nearly three years staring into a microscope with the light turned up to full blast is rather bad eye sight, bad night vision, and bright lights really get me now. Oh well. It was fun though.
