JZ is about to leave the beloved lab and UCSB, so she very much expected the last group meeting on the schedule. However, it was canceled in the last minute.
SR: Are you sad?
JZ: It's OK. I will take the last group meeting as the last group meeting.
NC (explaining to his undergrad): You know, you can use Mathematica to do the math for you, so you don't need to do it yourself. The best part is, the computer is always right.
JZ: The ONLY thing a computer can do is math; it'd better be good at it...
IK: Do you know, why Thomas Hunt Morgan the fly scientist never sees the truth?
JZ: Why so?
IK: Because, every day when he goes to work, he walks into a cloud of flies.
PC, SA and JZ are doing some tubulin purification today, the last step of which involves measuring the concentration with NanoDrop, but it has been giving results with huge fluctuations.
PC: I will accept the next round of measurements...
...
PC: If they are consistent.
JZ: Wait... I have heard it somewhere... Oh right, "I will accept the election results... if I win."
EK: This just means if the elevator is out of order, they will not try to fix it.
