So. Good news IRL: although the Scottish Scientist has patented the use of HOT (hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase, my protein) as a detector of GHB, she has not actually cloned it successfully. They can get a peptide, sure, but it is inactive. They could not reactivate it. We can still be the first group to successfully express active HOT. So that's good.

I have been reading Pacific Rim fic. I mean, the ones set during the movie kind of suck, because most of the movie took place over just a couple of days. But futurefic? I could read people writing about what the heroes do after the world doesn't end forever.

But also, Homestuck. The way that webcomic changes how people read relationships ought to be a crime. With that in mind, flawless kismesissitude. I don't even particularly ship those two, but rarely have I ever seen anyone write black romance as well as that. So even if you aren't a Homestuck and just like candlelit hate dates, read this fic.

Have you just been cruising the AO3, or do you have a favorite meme? (Also, have a rec - http://archiveofourown.org/works/890511)

Ugh, sorry/YAY about Scottish Scientist Stuff. I hope the HOT behaves for you, and your group gets professional cred for it.

The AO3 and the kink meme over on LJ. Needs more Hannibal fics in general, though. (Yay rec!)

Well, it's a patent. You are allowed to patent ideas without having a working prototype. We can't get money if we want to use HOT for the detection of GHB, but that is not our goal - instead we wish to study the HOT itself. So I think we can still get Science Cred.
