while staring at the cells i've been culturing (and killing and harvesting) for quite a while, i realized how beautiful they looked. Especially when you've just plated them and they're all fat and sticking nicely to the culture surface. Nice big round nucleus with two or three dark nucleoli in them, surrounded by a sprinkling of shiny vesicles carelessly rimming the nucleus and fluffy lammellopodia spreading out in all directions. order in chaos. ok fine, the bastards are cancer cells. but dang! i think i'm spending too much time in here.
