I kind of like having good vision, actually...

Dear chromosomes,

Please keep yourselves together when you get stained. I don't appreciate straining my eyes constantly to try and determine how many bands you have. It would also be really helpful if, when you get squashed onto slides, you could not be all twisted and coiled up. Let me tell you, trying to decipher banding patterns is difficult enough without the added bonus of having you crossing all over yourselves like a tangle of yarn!

I'd really appreciate it if you would be nice to me... I would like to still be sane and not blind when I finish my degree!

Thanks,
Katherine
