Troublesome research methodologies

[sawyl]

My favourite recent science quote comes from this NYT piece on bedbugs:

[Stephen A. Kells] feeds his bugs expired blood-bank blood through parafilm, which he describes as “waxy Saran Wrap.”

Coby Schal of North Carolina State said he formerly used condoms filled with rabbit blood, but switched to parafilm because his condom budget raised eyebrows with university auditors.
