me: former mitochondrial (mt) researcher, published
mt difficult to prepare/isolate intact/pure
extraordinary imagery shows why

Yet another "illustration" of crit imp. of fundamental research

In the fall of 1991, a couple of German hikers climbing the Italian Alps discovered a frozen, thawing human corpse. This seeming tragedy turned out to be a surprising scientific discovery, after radiocarbon dating revealed that the body was at least 5000 years old. The fact that it had been frozen for so long meant that ancient human DNA could potentially be recovered for the first time.
