“Later, back in the lab, Roy Weber, a professor in the Department of Bioscience at Aarhus University, spins the liquid in a vial to run tests on it, allowing him to see that the dark liquid was indeed full of red blood cells. But they had all broken open and released their hemoglobin—the molecule that carries oxygen in blood—out into the slurry.”
