Dr. Pepper-flavored memories

Earlier in the hour, as I was sipping my Diet Dr. Pepper, a break from my normal Diet Coke with Lime, I wondered, "What are the 23 secret flavors?" After nearly 8 full minutes of research, I found this list on listafterlist.com. I wonder if it's right?

And this post brought back a rush of middle school sensory memories... remember Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers? I think I had that flavor, although the best flavor was Vanilla Frosting. It tasted like pound cake.

And look at this! I just went to the Lip Smackers website, and it says that with every purchase you get a FREE Dr. Pepper Topper! (What is a topper, you might ask? It is a keychain that "fits on the cap of any Lip Smacker so you can take it with you wherever you go!"

Lab Work

So I haven't posted much in a while, and I thought I'd share some pictures I've been taking up at the dental school this summer. These cells are mouse skull cells that have been stained for various proteins. The blue pics are stained with DAPI, which simply reveals the nucleus of each cell. The red is for PPAR gamma, a protein associated with fat cells. And the green is for insulin receptor proteins, which are found concentrated on the surface of fat cells. Why the fat cell staining? Because when we delete a certain gene in skeletal cells, RUNX2, the cells can spontaneously form fat cells. Interesting, huh?

Multiple Choice

I REALLY want to go to this exhibit! At the Cooper-Hewitt through sept 1.

Works Made In Valencia

I LOVE this self-promo poster: Works Made in Valencia by designer Jae-Hyouk Sung, to promote her first solo exhibition. This was featured in ID mag's annual design review 2008, and it's won several other awards as well. Look at the complexity and intricacy of the detail. From top to bottom: front, detail of front, back, detail of back.

more of the artist's work can be seen here, first place in the Print Media category in the 2003 Adobe Design Achievement Awards.

and here are a few of the winners from ID annual design review.
