For our lab meeting a couple of weeks ago, we had a special presenter: our boss, Tim Behrens!I really enjoyed Tim's talk. He basically told us about the history of research in our lab, and he also mentioned the people who had come and gone. It had an epic feel to it. :-) At the end, Tim gave us the first nine of "Behrens' Laws"; they are below, but without history or explanation:
Behrens' Laws
1. Clone and sequence.
2. Be fearless.
3. Follow lab protocols.
4. Do experiments.
5. Don't give up on your "good" ideas.
6. Dump struggling projects.
7. Collaborate vigorously.
8. Writing makes a difference.
9. Read widely.
As for me, there are many laws (or commands) in the Bible that I love. Here are some secular sayings I also like:
"The short way is the long way, and the long way is the short way."
"Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime."
Are these just rephrasings of statements in Proverbs?

Hmmm.....there's one that is close....not sure if it's in proverbs, might be in the back by the maps ~ :) hehe.
"Give a man to fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish you'll get rid of him for the entire weekend."
One of my secular favorites "Big shots are just little shots that never gave up." ~ Harvey McKay
