“We biologist are either skin-in or skin-out.” 

I found that quote interesting and very new to me as well. That is because of the way it said. A senior biologist told the author about the quote. Because the dept. Of biology split into two. One dealing with micro-molecular biology and the other dealing with ecology and evolution. I would say it is kind of new to me, that is why I felt like, what is it about? And I tried to know more about it.

“Let’s go to the VD center for lunch” 

I find that quote interesting and familiar because I also sometimes use this kind of short form in my talking. When the author uses the quote sentence, he saw consternation on their faces. He had to correct his line immediately otherwise they would think he was suggesting eating at the clinic for venereal center. Sometimes when I use short form like ASAP with my dad or my little sister they are like “what are you talking about?” Then I had to explain it to them.
