Whether brute-forcing through hundreds of mini-preps or setting up so many reactions that you run out of round-bottoms, it’s not unusual to feel like a robot from time to time.  It’s normal.  However, if that robotic feeling doesn’t seem to be going away and you have a craving for WD40, call your doctor – or mechanic – immediately.  Watch this video to see what can happen to an otherwise normal grad student after too much repetition…

This video’s got something for everyone – chemistry, Star Wars and Short Circuit… But most importantly, it’s packed with good content and a sense of humor.  Anytime someone can take a routine, robot-inducing technique and make it fun, we applaud them!
