Finally, after a long, long delay, I have escaped grave peril to create for you Episode 4 of Stir-Fried Stochasticity.  Today’s topic is my excuse for the year-long delay between Episode 3 and Episode 4, and (more importantly) the microbiological practice of “Heat-Fixing” and its purpose, and the ability (or inability) of “heat-fixing” to render microscope slides of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria sterile and safe to handle.

You can listen to the episode from the embedded player below directly from this web page, or download the file to freely listen to and redistribute (under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution,Share-Alike license) here:

    I always enjoy hearing you even if it is a bit weird. You should have been a science teacher. Today’s kids don’t get enough science and I think you make it enjoyable enough for them to understand it and even enjoy it!
