I’m stealing your pictures for my future middle science class; nothing gets kids mesmerized quite like rat inside, at least that’s my theory. Don’t worry I’ll put copyright ‘walthpants’ on everything.

please take them. i have plenty more where they came from… and maybe could even send you some slides so they can look in-person. immunostaining would be a good class lecture! but maybe a little over their heads.
