The yeast made another list! This one for the decade!!

So our yeast made yet another list for the end of the year, in fact this one was for the end of the decade!

In a list with the top five archaeological moments of the decade (“From beer to NASA: The top 5 archaeological moments of the decade“) our discovery of ancient yeast is listed!

More importantly, my now iconic quip was quoted:

“In Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs eat the scientists,” he said. “Here, the scientists drink the dinosaurs,” said Aren Maeir, an archaeologist from Bar-Ilan University.

And if I may note, I had nothing to do with choosing this, or any of the other four “moments” for the list! I’m just passing it on…:-)
