In Which: Lab facts and Urban canoeing

It just recently struck me that in the lab, we use the phrase "out of control" in a different way than the rest of the world. In order to ensure that all of our lab tests are valid, we spend a large portion of our time running QC (quality control). Quality control is a pretty complicated process involving various biomedical supply companies, charts, statistics, correlation with other labs, and daily testing. Every machine and manual test must be "in control" in order for test results to be released.

The newly-engaged/newlywed spotlight doesn't last forever! Plus, I think they turned out pretty neat.
