What happens when you discover that the manuscript that you've downloaded has a cutout as a supplemental figure?

You take out your scissors and start cutting.

To be honest, we didn't know what to make of the final arts & crafts product, a floppy ABC transporter that can be shifted into various conformations, each of which is suppose to represent a different nucleotide-bound state.

(You'll also note that this paper was resubmitted due to an infamous error.)

I've seen papers written in verse and set to music, but never a cut-out figure. It's sorta old-school but new-school, and a little bit of grade school.

Love it. Great pic too.

hilarious. baymate is doing awesome ;-)

look at that face... so full of hope and shiny joy at what might have been. what's missing is my 'after' face showing my grievous disappointment. boo to gimmicky cut-outs. boo.

Love it. Great pic too.
