THE IMPORTANCE OF LABELLING YOUR S(TUFF) In the Globe and Mail this weekend there was a little anecdote that went as

follows:PhD student spends three years in tropical rainforest laboriously collecting lizard

excrement for some sort of analysis.The PhD student stores the excrement in the lab. freezer in an unlabelled plastic bag.The PhD student returns to rainforest to collect more excrement (apparently this stuff

is difficult to get!)The PhD student returns home.

Finds out all his excrement has been thrown out in a lab clean-up.PhD student says his career and life are ruined.

Let this tragedy be a warning to us all.

ROLE OF THE GOLGI BODY

Palade is credited with being the first one to describe the small particles that later came to be known as ribosomes.
