W_——,
A most unique “gardner” is Dr. Charles M. Pomerat, professor
of cytology at the University of Texas School of Medicine. The word
got around that he was growing “things” in his laboratory. The first
thought which came up was some kind of indoor garden, and paying
a visit to his workshop was quite a revelation. There were no little
rows of soil marked with various signs designating the plants. In fact,
the whole panorama, from first glance looked more like the setting
for one of those laughter-provoking Keystone comedies.
The usual standard laboratory equipment was prominent, and
looking closely, this is what met the eyes. Closed up in one little
room, which is carefully kept sterile, sat a technician in her crisp
white uniform and wearing a mask. She was working over a dish of
eggs. Carefully she picked them up, cleaned them off with alcohol,
broke off the top of each, and instead of emptying out the usual yolk
and albumin, with tweezer-look-
ing instrument she extracted what
looked like a little tadpole from
each, and then placed it in a con-
tainer. The rest of the egg was
cast aside.
Outside of this little room
stood a large refrigerator, and on
opening it, instead of finding
foods and water, there were only
little rectangular pieces of glass
covered with another small piece
about the size of a dime. In lieu
of cool air, the “refrigerator”
was found to be kept at body
temperature.
