Microfluidic Devices Help Obtain Chemical Images

Just a few drops of liquid or a bit more is run past specialized sensors in microfluidic devices to detect chemicals of concern to doctors and security personnel. However, these devices are now being reinvented for use in scientific instruments to answer fundamental questions, according to a review written by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and published in Microfluidics and Nanofluidics.

George Bernard Shaw warned us to “Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.”

Shaw is a fabulous person to quote, I rely on his words liberally and often. Also, full disclosure that I’m an anthropology major by trade and got a substantial kick out of fitting the ‘armchair anthropologists’ joke into this one (a term that refers to academics who don’t venture too far outside the library and hide from actual fieldwork – a crime anthropologists were especially guilty of in the early years of the discipline).

Raymond Chandler reminds us to stay humble, as our wits are about as eternal as the food turning soft in our fridge (I’m looking at you cabbage…).

“Cleverness, like perhaps strawberries, is a perishable commodity.”

I find quote-hoarding to be a fabulous method of borrowing the knowledgable thoughts of others when my own fails.
