Group Meeting Bingo: Keeping Developmental Biologists Awake

Few things are tougher than keeping your New Year’s Lab-olutions for the entire year. Being that this is just the first week back, we’re confident you were able to stay awake during this week’s seminar or group meeting. But alas, 51 weeks of challenge lie ahead and some of those weeks will be filled with seminars in a room that’s a little too warm, group meetings by a lab member that’s a little too boring, or lectures at a conference that are a little too early.

Our good friends over at The Node decided they needed to take action to ensure developmental biologists everywhere hang on every word out of seminar speakers’ mouths in 2012. Incorporating the fantastic keyword suggestions from The Node’s readers, we’ve created a Developmental Biology Group Meeting Bingo card.

Bingo? Are we actually suggesting you gamble during seminars? Yes!  No. We’re simply providing a few key words that you may listen for during a talk… and if it just so happens that your card yields “Bingo!” sooner than your labmates’ and they have to take you out to lunch as a result, so be it…

Happy New Year (and good luck)!
