Dear friends and colleagues,

Gads, time for Dads and Grads again! Nearly half the year gone. . .hope you haven't been frittering away '07 with things that are less-than-fun. But in case you have, here's your chance to lighten up and put a few rogue gray cells to work for Dad, grad or other lad in your life. For that matter, it's OK to be all about you, too...

1. CHIPLETS OFF THE OLD BLOCK?
 

But for a mere chromosome or two, we could all be hanging from trees, or in gatherer mode for Swiss cheese. On the other hand, thanks to those very chromosomes, we're mostly what M. Nature intended - decidedly descendent from those we spawn and love. What better way to celebrate connections than a genomic gift of silken proportions?


Scarves, too


2. DAMAGE REPAIR, PARTS DEPT.
 

Micromanaging even further, how about a few Stemmers in case some of the parts need updating to the newer T3 models? Quietly regenerative ties and scarves that bypass the boring big picture and get right down to the minutiae. How stylin' are these:


Scarves, too


3. CULINARY KUDOS
 
NewBritainHSStudents

Culinary Kudos to Connecticut's New Britain High School students for their great performance in the National ProStart Invitational. Sponsored by the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation, ProStart is a two-year building curriculum that blends both classroom learning and work experience to prepare future culinary and management leaders. Teacher and team leader Nann Thomson's charges did some screamin' cooking and restaurant problem solving, all the while styling in signature IA "Foodborne 6" couture.

Congrats to the sartorially excellent performance by the NBHS foodies!


Scarves, too.


4.VIRTUAL FOOD SAFETY
 

Speaking of the galley, "Ask Karen" if you want to know all about food handling, preparation, storage and safety. Karen is an ageless, decidedly botox-free "virtual representative" who oversees the kitchens of the USDA website, dedicated to prevention of foodborne illness. Type in your question, click "Ask" and you'll get timely and accurate answers to your deepest culinary neuroses. A great educational and safety resource. www.fsis.usda.gov


5. TALK ABOUT AN ODD COUPLE...
 

Analysis of tissues from deep inside the femur of an eastern Montana Tyrannosaurus rex has revealed a DNA link to - no, not gorillas, lions, or other kingly species - but to ...er, chickens! Scientists have identified proteins in a fossilized T. rex which indicate that preservation of DNA may well extend to the cellular level even in a 68 million year-old! In fact, several of the protein sequences were related closely to the humble KFC alumnus, which gives way to a very troubling mental picture. In any case, for you Jurassic groupies, our T.rex design, directly patterned from Montana State U. bone scans, might serve to preserve the big guys'macho, but now highly suspicious, image.

Note the glimpse of T. at bottom of the design.


6. GIANT MICROBES® MAXI-DEMIC
 

Wow, these little critters lit up Al Gore's highway after our last newsletter. As long as you're trolling for the perfect D & G gift, why not consider these cuddly contagions for little Billy or Buffy while you're at it? Great educational and awareness tools for the whole fam. The topical hang tags are especially timely and clever.

P.S. Beginning in June, you'll be able to order the little Giants directly from the IA website. In the meantime, amble over to the Giantmicrobe site and have some furry fun.


7. BURPANOL
 

Lastly, what Father's Day edition would be complete without some manly beer talk: we hear that scientists are teaming with an Aussie beer maker (Foster's) to generate energy from brewery wastewater and bacteria. Acting as a "microbial fuel cell," the cell is essentially a battery in which bacteria consume water-soluble brewing waste to produce electricity. Cricky, mate, filling the tank with a six pack does sound like a plan!
