Why this must be read:

This is one of those stories you can't put down, the kind that make you fall in love with the characters all over again. It's a Hankfic written by someone who is actually a scientist and brings that thrill of discovery and experimentation alive, the climax is heartwrenching, and the perspective on Beast, Wolverine, Professor X, etc. is truly refreshing.

What I absolutely don't get at all was why any of my more deserving colleagues would refuse to make a *paid* trip over the weekend to NY to deliver a box, *and* get the chance to visit the lab of, maybe even *talk* to, one of the most *brilliant* researchers in biochemistry and human physiology of the country. Who also happened to be the least public one. Geez, my first day in this lab I was handed eleven papers to read for the next day. Five of those papers where co-authored by this guy, and all but one cited his work, but when I asked about him, no one had even met him at a scientific meeting. And they didn't *jump* at this chance?
