Biological solutions from an Engineer

For those of you who don't believe it when I say that there aren't any traditional biologists in the lab, here's a little anecdote. (You're going to have to be a biologist to find this remotely funny)

I'm growing a few cell lines, and one of them wasn't growing slowly, not as well as the others. I mention this to my super-smart friend/cubicle-mate/collaborator/overall good guy who happens to be an engineer stuck in a Bio lab.

His immediate answer: Dude, why don't you just raise the temperature of your 37 degree incubator?
