Yesterday's seminar was generally pretty good (even if I was nodding off anyways...) - all about single molecule enzyme kinetics. At the beginning of the talk, the speaker is talking about the Michaelis-Menton equation, the sort of be-all-end-all equation for enzyme kinetics.
And he says, "Michaelis, he was a really famous enzymologist. Menton, she was Canadian."
Seriously? I know you're a big famous researcher-dude, but really? He's an enzymologist? And she's Canadian? Wtf.
I used to be a grad student. And now I'm not (thank goodness). I spent a year as a post doc in industry in Baltimore before starting a "real" job with the same company. These are my tales of science, food, travel, and life.
You totally should have called him out afterwards! Menton was also pretty big stuff, if I remember correctly.
