Red blood cells nuke their nuclei (2008)

> The researchers plan to further investigate the entire process of red blood cell formation, which may lead to insights about genetic alterations that underlie certain red blood cell disorders.

I'm using to reading this type of paragraphs in all biology articles I read. Meanwhile, physicists get away with building LHC just to prove theories they wouldn't be able to prove otherwise because they have no bearing in our day-to-day.

Here, I'm going to blow those biologists' cover for ya:

> The researchers plan to further investigate the entire process of red blood cell formation. One of the members of the team just wants to know for the sake of knowing. The group leader does it for the prestige. The rest are practical people like you and me: one postdoc is secretly planning to spin-off a company that makes synthetic blood, another just wants to know what she can inject herself with so that her hangovers become less painful. A big group of them that meets every Friday under the disguise of playing cricket is actually plotting to genetically-engineer blood so that they can live forever and evade divine judgement; the local church is watching them with suspicion.
