$10 million in sequencing machines in this room ($500k Illumina HiSeqs). But I think they're just for training. There are a hundred more at the HK lab.
An old poster. Monitor Group report whose cover is depicted.
Amusing signage (if you can read Chinese). Note the Gattaca background.

I can't read Chinese either. Someone explained to me what the sign says -- something like "Noodle Room". It's not a joke, but rather a place in the cafeteria where you get noodles and dumplings. The contrast with the high tech Gattaca background seemed strange to me.

ReplyDeleteThe alcohol is 56 proof.
ReplyDeleteThe noodle room sounds very clinical. It doesn't invoke any romantic feeling about noodle.
