photograph of a polaroid picture showing the first PCR test (Polymerase Chain Reaction test) performed at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. The polaroid is both taped and magnetically pinned to a lab shelf. Its image is dark but shows the bands of DNA glowing and separated out in the agarose gel. In the white space of the polaroid, beneath the picture, someone has lovingly written "First PCR at BRIT".

Researchers are sentimental creatures... Can you relate?
