Lady Gaga parody with a science edge

A friend alerted me to a video on Youtube video, Zheng Lab – Bad Project (Lady Gaga parody) and since it’s Friday and I usually blog about science in one form or another, I think it’s worth a whirl.

There is a real lab, the head researcher is Hui Zheng and she and her team study Alzheimer’s Disease (at the Baylor College of Medicine in Texas). Note: There’s a brief segment with mice where they’ve sped up the motion (this team does some animal testing).

This is partly an experiment on my part as I’m using Youtube’s new embed code, which required adopting a new and somewhat bewildering strategy. ETA Feb.3.11: I started playing with the sizing and had to go back to using the old embed code.
