As a (micro)biologist ...

... it's always cool when you get to name something.

A biologist has named a newly discovered trapdoor spider after rock star Neil Young: Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi.

For microbiologists it's identifying and naming a new microorganism. For molecular biologists, it's naming a new gene. Unfortunately, the gene designation fucK has already been taken (fuculose kinase).
