I loved this story. Reminds me of all my failed biochemistry experiments. Perhaps, mine were also contaminated by ants.

- vibrio 5y agoThat incubator held bacterial plates for cloning. The ants would walk across the plates and sometimes leave a trail of bacterial colonies showing the path they took. Cleaning the area and turning the incubator up to 45-50 Celsius for a day or so ended the infestation. I’m nostalgic also about the science and experiences. Although not about making $13k/year while in my mid-twenties with a college degree.
