Science in the News is a seminar series where smartypants Harvard grad students talk to people in the community about science. We're going to be giving a presentation on biofuels on September 24th, so check it out if you're in Boston! I wanted to title the talk "Balls Out for Biofuels," but we had to settle for the less in-your-face (but still alliterative) "Fuels of the Future."

Unicorn Justice
UotH is back after a long summer hiatus with some disturbing news. A number of recent thefts in our building has led the Unicorns to take the law into our own hands. Since the thefts have occurred during lab meetings, I set up my webcam (with motion detection software, of course) to catch the thief red-handed. An old wallet with a tasty dollar bill sticking out was the bait.
The result:
Thanks a bunch D-train. Can I have my dollar back now? The real thief remains at large, so I may have to try hiding in the ceiling next time.
Stay tuned for more posts, including:
- The Unicorns take on Hong Kong for SB 4.0
- Michael's deportation to the Netherlands
- Pimp my Bench
- and more balls out stuff...

UotH Webshop now open!
Once in awhile scientist have to go look for funds. Now it's my turn. As my stipend is running to its end, I need money OR go back home. Seeing as I do not wish to return to the middle ages in Europe, where I have to wear my wooden shoes while I'm picking tulips and being careful not to get hit by windmills, the only possibility is generating my own income: awesome Unicorns of the Hydrocalypse (UotH) apparel! So without further delay, I am proud to present to you some snazzy stuff, for him.
Support this good cause @ underwear: $49.95 t-shirts: $69.95

Our benches
People on the internet love posting pictures of their desks online. Instead of posting real content, we thought we'd show you our benches so you can get to know us a little bit better. Remember--this is what real science looks like. And now, in no particular order, our benches:
Michael
Christina

We did it
After months of work, we Unicorns are proud to announce that we have created a yeast strain capable of generating hydrogen from sunlight or waste biomass (as long as it isn't corn). We're in the process of revising the paper we submitted to Nature, but as of this morning we already got the attention of CNN. More details to come, in the mean time check out our CNN interview.
