I found a part of a human skull cap on the side of a lovely service road next to a landfill and citrus processing plant. The hole was next to a dirty baby diaper that had been sitting in the Florida summer heat for hours.

It works. Like imagine your cat now but it can kick you really hard and jump super high. Although like I said though it'll dislocate its joints a lot so you get your revenge for the kicking.

We researched how willing people were to injure others if an authority figure okay's it. Basically, you sit there with the subject and tell them to press a button that they believe is issuing electric shocks to somebody in another room. (it is not) You increase the intensity of the shocks and tell the subject that they can quit at any time but that it's fine to continue because there's a waiver and blah blah blah. End result: regular people will murder another person if an authority figure tells them it's okay to do.

I am lying but I did read about a study like this.

Yeah, that study was covered in several different classes I took in both highschool and college. I think it's actually illegal to do tests like that these days.

Milgram's study and the reaction to it was a significant contributor to the formation of IRBs to approve research before it is carried out.

Helped take delivery of two frozen, disemboweled gorillas. Well, they were frozen to start with but def lots of pink glorp in their bags when they arrived. We had to use a hydraulic winch to lift them and steering a winch down creepy hallways while trying to stop a carcass from swinging is not easy.

Used a stone tool to skin and deflesh a leg that was recently separated from a goat.

The defining bottle was a milk jug that placed the collection from just after Prohibition to the early forties. There were a lot more bottles to be excavated but it was a community project and there was no real funding involved.

I wouldn't call the results entirely conclusive but based on the data we had, that was what we could conclude. The rest of the project could be a decent Master's thesis, though.

We used to take infant piglets, hook them up with catheters/arterial lines, and forcefeed them a ketogenic sludge every couple hours.

Then after a week we vivisected them (it would ruin the results otherwise) to measure carnitine levels. It was kind of the waste because the prof didn't know what she was doing half the time so the results were a waste.

But some science was accomplished though.

No the prof was. While I was there we "wasted" three piglets worth of data. And each piglet needed round the clock supervision and care for up to ten days. It sucked as an undergrad.

It was a good experience for me personally though and it informed me that Environmental science and also Nutrition are the basket weaving of the life sciences so I steered clear afterwards.

I was a police ride-along for ten hours a night a few times a week gathering data. The cops were nice enough individuals but also annoying jaded pricks who seemed largely powerless to positively affect the southside neighborhood we were in. It was discouraging.

I learned a lot about where hookers hang out in my metro area and met a lot of folks. It's a good story, but it probably wasn't worth how little sleep I got.

My grandpa is a retired doctor and told me about how they would remove the vocal cords of animals during research so that they wouldn't have to listen to them scream.
These days he donates to ASPA even though he's never really been an animal person, and I kind of figured it was out of guilt for stuff like that.
