Trudy
Do you all remember Trudy the Tetrahymena? Well, she loves her new home with Chad. Apparently she is a big help around the lab. Chad was nice enough to send some pictures to let us know what she’s up to (I just have to note that I love Chad and the fact that he is, possibly, a bigger nerd than I….it’s a close race but he may have just pulled ahead).
Enjoy this rare look into the life of a Knitted Tetrahymena.
What a life, huh?!

I love the pictures at the scope. That looks like something we would do in our lab!

Hahaha, love it! I really feel like she’s looking INto the scope in that last pic.

OK, the fact that he would do the photo shoot thusly, proves that he was Knitted Tetrahymena worthy.
Giggling.

Damn that’s funny. It’s so great he took the time to take the photos though. I love it when people do that.

That’s hysterical! I love that fact that Chad took the time to make sure you knew Trudy was well loved & appreciated! More than I can say for the recipients of my hand knits. Your so lucky.

Through the microscope?? Priceless.

wait a gosh darn minute where’s Occupational Health and Safety. I see no lab coat or latex gloves! Safety glasses? Bet she’s been drinking coffee in the lab again too!
