I so wish I could say this was Bio Rad, but it seems like it's another one of those 'nerdy organization with a super narrow niche market makes a broadly viral video to try and get some exposure, despite it not being actually funny.'

Oh well, I'll call it Bio Rad anyways just so I can use the word.

PCR is used in a very large number of fields. I don't think I'd describe it as a "super narrow niche market."

Also, the company Bio-Rad has been around for a very long time.

Of course now I have YMCA stuck in my head and it could be a long, long day.

I never miss the lab, but now I do. Sigh.
Back to the TPS reports...

That's a total diss against helix-loop-helix regulatory factors. They'd have themselves a war if I had any skillz whatsoever.

Looks like Roche is making a better appeal to my musical taste, although I'm not currently in the market for a robot to stare at cultured cells for me. This touching power ballad probably has the best lyrics of all of these.
