In search for the cover image of the
issue 5148 of Science (1994), in which the expression of
GFP in E. Coli and C. elegans was
reported, I downloaded the front matter (36 MB). Along with the funny ads of the latest software for Windoze 3.11 and DOS, dorky pictures of scientists seeking more viable cell cultures while staring in the general direction of the sky at dawn through their Petri dishes, there was something absolutely mind-blowing.
Well, could I possibly resist?
The article mentioned above was cited over 2700 times by now. This is another illustration of the
GFP impact, which now brought to us this forgotten piece of... of... ART.
I will be glad to see more examples of funny scientific ads. Anyone? :)
