Trying to find your way around this place? Like most expositions, we offer a map: 
I currently teach an all day molecular laboratory course at UBC, where students go through various techniques in the confines of what is often a 4 to 6 hour session. Anyway, occasionally, there is some downtime, and last week, some students started to play around with the ice in their ice bucket.
Here is the fruit of their effort - a miniature snowman:
And I am so thinking, that we can turn this into a contest (maybe hosted by the SCQ with a prize, etc)!
Of course, I guess the other way to interpret things is that my class is so dreary that students resort to doing crafts on the side.
Anyway, "Snowman" comes courtesy of students who are part of the Lab Ratz team (my class is split into 4 teams who compete with each other throughout the term). Would love to see more ice bucket art sculptures, if there are any others out there so inclined to have a go.

David,
Don't forget autoclave art! You can do some wonderful things with microfuge tubes.
Just be careful about making art with bacteria on a petri dish. According to Tara, you could wind up in jail.
