Bull snake

I captured a bull snake recently -- twice, in fact. It was a pet snake that had escaped, and I found it in my closet three days later. I placed it in a temporary travelling cage so that I could show him to some children, but after I brought him home, he managed to pop the lid off the cage overnight.

That does it. Next time, I'm placing him directly in his permanent cage. Ugh.

Inaccurate assay description

I just discovered that this site says, "ELISpot assays employ the sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique." That is not very accurate. To be sure, there are some undeniable similarities between the ELISPOT method and the ELISA assay technique, but it's a bit of a misrepresentation to say that the former uses the latter. I would certainly be extremely uncomfortable making such a claim.

Yeargh.
