The centrifuge was not the part that bothered me the most. It was how the astrophage was pipetted up and down way to smoothly for the viscous dark goop it looked like after it left the pipette.

Two years ago we made >25 offers and had a class of 17.... This past year we offered a gut wrenching 8 offers and got a class of 5... SO many talented and deserving students did not get offers that normally would have. not sure how to fix it but i hope we do sooner rather than later
