A Tribute to the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
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.
