That's it! Way cool. I couldn't spot the guy I used to work with in their group picture, but I'd bet he's still there. I used to buy a few bottles of duty-free whiskey for him and he'd reimburse me. It was about 1/2 the cost of what he would have had to pay if he'd bought it locally.
He used to research (among other things) starfish bone, for use as a replacement in humans. It's very porus and our bone cells just grow right through it forming a long-term bone joint that practically disappears with time.
He was also researching the spread of DDT. Turns out that shit percolates its way into almost everything- plants, trees, animals, humans, everything. And it takes forever to degrade and become harmless. DDTalso fluoresces brightly in a scanning electron microscope in 'electroluminescence' mode, making it easy to spot.
Ahh, the useless knowledge I've collected...
