“massaging tartrazine solution into hairless mouse skin over the course of a few minutes or using microneedling achieves “complete optical transparency in the red region of the visible spectrum”
I know it didn’t happen this way but I like to believe it was someone having their unwashed dorito fingers after lunch, decided to massage a mouse for several minutes, and figuring this out
No that's probably exactly what happened. Most discoveries happen serendipitously.
Their name, Lennie.
Come to think of it, I didn't see any claims about no animals being harmed...
It says pretty clearly it's potentially non-toxic!
I was referring to Lennie, not the dye
Sounds like a masturbation injury if I've ever heard of one, the mouse is clearly a cover
A scientist frantically looking for something to rub dorito dust on, before everyone else get into the lab the next morning.
Smoke some, eat snacks and try using real mouse with your laptop.
