Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
that's pretty bull**** right there, if it happened to my lab i'd plan some retaliation. maybe do something like what dennis did to that one hippie in it's always sunshine, then beat him up.

can't they catch those ppl? lock em up?

This is definitely true. :laugh: Actually, it sets the bar low for me, I don't feel the need to be entertained by my surroundings. I had a blast in college in a town of less than 15,000 people... it also makes places like Ann Arbor seem like supremely awesome alternate universes.

" A Nov. 14, 2004, break-in at animal research laboratories in the U of I’s Spence Laboratories and Seashore Hall cost about $425,000 and temporarily stalled some research. The Animal Liberation Front claimed responsibility for the attack, in which masked intruders trashed computers and other equipment and stole hundreds of laboratory animals.
I'm so sorry (actually, I'm not), but I have no patience for the sob story. Poor, poor long-suffering animal researchers. They only want to help people....as they also get salary increases, patents, tenure and all the other perks.

How convenient that not only will this underground prison allow for "security," but it will also hide research "practices" completely from the public eye.

Vandals are not the greatest threat to animal researchers, it's transparency. And they know it."

first of ****ing all.
if you are against animal research, you better ****ing refuse any kind of medication you are given. the estimate of running a mice facility, starting a new one, making a founder mice, breeding, making transgeninc, breeding, feeding, hiring new people, redoing research, stalling careers, remaking facility, adding security probably cost a total of 10-20 million dollars.

it takes 3 years to make a trangenic mice. and then 2 more years to get any kid of data off of it. freeing sterile/infection/germ free mice into middle of iowa doesn't do **** but get them killed in a matter of hours.

its great to have people protecting animal rights, but just going overboard will only harm more mice. there are ****load of rules and protocols involved in animal research to protect them as much as possible.

Makes me sooo mad. 😡 I did a research program last summer at Iowa and they had all the research floors individually locked down to the point where my ID card only let me in to the single floor where I was authorized to work. So frustrating that things have to be made so difficult by people who simply don't understand how research works and how rigorous the animal care standards are.

And seriously, if people don't "believe" in animal research, they should not be allowed access to modern health care. Period. We would be nowhere near where we are in medicine without animal models.
 
yea, because of the whole iowa fiasco, NIH/CDC is going around the country to research facilities and spying on institution's research protocol. they are basically checking to see if people are being too nice and holding open doors instead of stopping infront of them and telling them to swipe their own IDs in at the door.

my building is brand new, every door is ID swiped, even the stairs are locked. i keep getting locked in
 
I lived in east Baltimore and did not get shot. I lived on the south side of Chicago and did not get shot. It will be pretty ironic if some PETA fanatic in Iowa City is the one to finally get me.
 
thank god i didn't travel this summer because starting a new life in a completely new place is expensive

you weren't in NYC / CT 😀 I was basically living out of my backpack for 5 days - travelling between philly, NYC, CT and staying over at my sister's place in NYC for the most part.

Averaged about 4 hrs of sleep the last 2 days. Another 5 hrs tonight. 👍 (all in the name of partying / beach etc. of course)

i agree, kickball > baseball. baseball is boring to watch AND play, it would've long ceased to exist had stats not existed

Meh. I think so. The material is getting heavier, but it's becoming habit. The fact that my OSCE AND practice practical is this week is super stressful, though.

Yeah, we're not pass/fail. It does make it a bit more stressful.

yeah our school is p/f (no class rank) for m1 and graded for year 2, it creates a huge dichotomy between super relaxed m1 and intense m2.
 
In the last phase of p90x.... only a month left! So hard to stay motivated 🙁

Lost weight, but not nearly as ripped as I would've liked (what, I expected results like on TV - don't tell me those were advertising tricks! :laugh: )

Lots of fun so far! We just got here today though (I'm at a non-Florida beach right now haha). After the end of the week, I'll probably be joining your friends in the lobster look. It's going to be awesome.
