Geek Tree

25 December

Put fifty or so scientists together and you can be sure a handful of them will find a way to geek up a Christmas tree.

At the top, of course, is a Star of David. Among the traditional ornaments, some "borrowed" from our lab's holiday party, see if you can find the following (click on the picture to enlarge it):

one or more dried acrylamide gels;
1.5 ml centrifuge tubes filled with various colored buffers;
a drawing of a mouse;
tissue fixation cassettes;
paraffin embedding molds; and, for extra credit,
a box of latex gloves;
microscope slides.

For super-duper extra credit, name the building outside the window.

(I had nothing to do with the decorating.)
