We have discussed the controversy regarding the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry that was given for the structure and function of the ribosome. I was also thinking about what a great accomplishment it was and how we could pay tribute.

Here is the idea: Get together 200 of our closest friends of which many of whom would need to wear spandex and short shorts. We would make it a dance tribute and have people attach a balloon to their head for identification. We would then act out the function of the ribosome to music from the 1970s, you know – flute solos and a lot of cow bell.

Well, I just found out from Molecule of the Day that this idea has already been done, dang – scooped again. Enjoy.
