I read this today about BrdU birthdating: "one of the most misused techniques in neuroscience" (Taupin, Brain Research Reviews, 2007). Easy to say about pretty much any technique, but in this case I sort of agree. To celebrate I have written a poem:
Boundless cell labeling
Relentless quantification
Dosage dependent artifacts aplenty
Unendurable
Although there is kind of a lot of negativity in science, so I must counter myself with:
Bountiful germinal territories
Replicating cells spinning and grooving
Dancing out of the ventricular zone
Undetectable? Not for long!
