To be lucky in our wet lab work and wiki coding, we built two glove-gods: ATGC for molecular biology and html for informatics ! (Their main inconvenient being that gloves deflate rather quickly)

After spending countless hours in the lab during almost four months, our president, Marine, has found a way to make herself at home ! |
