it's just too close to home, see?

In the room where they have the bones on the table for X-rays and such, there's an entire wall with tupperware boxes of bones -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:21
Well, she is the foremost expert in her field. She does travel the world doing anthropological stuff. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:20 9
- that stuff lives in museums and universities. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:22 7
  - uh, I think the Jeffersonian Institute is also a museum. As evidenced by some of the museum-like events they've had. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:23 4
    - Exactly. Apparently, the Smithsonian won't let them use the name...so it's the Jeffersonian on the show. - Jim Feb 14, 13:24 3
      - well, a Smithsonian with private funding -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:25
      - the Smithsonian is, as far as I know, the only place remotely analogous, so that makes sense. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:25 1
        
        You mean tv shows are exactly like real life? - pmb Feb 14, 13:43
  - Well she is employed by the "Jeffersonian"...which is essentially the Smithsonian. I think that's a museum. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:23 1
    - OIC. fair enuff. I have not watched it much, clearly. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:24
- Maybe we should just get loosi to email Kathy Reichs and ask ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:21
