So here is the Institute for Genetics - you'll only go into this building for didactics. I don't even know if that's the actual name...I just know you go in the doors, go up to the second floor, and we're in that giant lecture room. Upside is, the seats are real cozy. Oh, and fun fact! The building is shaped like a chromosome!!
APPLICANT 1
No way!
PGY2
Yeah - if you were to look down on the building from space...or an airplane, you'd see the legs and the centromere and all that stuff.

Haha, so if you guys wanted to expand the building, you could change the focus to Huntington's.
APPLICANT 2
Or Fragile X!
APPLICANT 3
Or spinocerebellar ataxia!
APPLICANT 4
Oh man, this is TOO much nerd humor. You guys need to stop.
APPLICANT 2
Awww, way to be the stop codon.
APPLICANT 1
Actually, is this the only building? Or is there a sister building somewhere?
APPLICANT 2
Haha, like the daughter chromosome?
APPLICANT 1
Well, if there's only 1, this building is like Turner's syndrome, right?
PGY-2
I'm speechless. Absolutely speechless.
