Could you have picked a more fitting picture with which to conclude that post? I laughed so hard. What's the source of that?
- Chris Lasher
Nice post, also applies to wet science- must contact all those collaborators and tell them what happened to th samples they sent...

@Chris it's one of those meme-ish pics that are everywhere. Don't know the source.

Hilarious - perfect for hitting the trenches on a Monday morning. I'm always trying to instill in wet lab scientists that bioinformatics approaches are experiments just like any other and should be documented as such. Actually, I think bioinformaticists are often just as cavalier rarely taking good notes of their workflow.

Trying very hard not to use "paradigm shift" or "revolutionary" in a grant application. Would welcome any non-superlative-riddled suggestions.

You should also claim that you will cure cancer within five years and extend the average human lifespan to 150. Side-effects should include dramatically lowered risk of heart disease and increased sexual pleasure.

Thanks. I accepted all your suggestions. My grant proposal now reads like a Penthouse Forum letter written by a slightly retarded version of Richard Morgan. I hope the reviewers like it.

@Deepak, since we're on the Penthouse theme, that does sound like an adult film title now that you mention it..

Automatic negative karma if you use the word "collaboratory". Or cyber. Automatic rejection if you combine the two as cyber-collaboratory.

Cyber-collaboratory also sounds Penthouse appropriate

Iddo: one approach is to focus on describing the manner in which it is "revolutionary" while using the term itself one time or less

You could try starting out the Background and Significance section as follows: "Before I go any further, let me first describe myself and my [collaborator]...We are both in our mid-20s, and are extremely muscular and athletic, with tanned, sculpted bodies, luscious locks of blonde hair, and tight, shapely buns." http://www.theonion.com/content...

Continuing along the lines suggested by Steve be sure to include a phrase beginning with "needless to say"

Sounds very similar to something I was going to try using Twitter to help someone stop smoking. Also reminds me of an initiative in the US where highschoolers were SMSed by friends/relatives encouraging them to finish & not drop out (can't remember what that was called now).
