not pictured:
- a fume hood with a definitely safe amount of items in it that is absolutely not interfering with air flow
- the drawer full of stuff from a grad student who defended in the 90’s
- things in regular use labeled “DO NOT USE”
- magic amulets and talismans placed on top of machines
- a totally sane amount of centrifuge balance tubes
- binders that exist solely to occasionally fall off the shelf all at once
- “don’t touch them they’re my emotional support expired reagents”
- “don’t touch them we’ll use these empty pipette tip boxes for something probably maybe”
- the full sharps container that can’t be disposed of because There’s Something In There That Shouldn’t Be™
- the haz waste that can’t be disposed of because it’s Too Expensive™
- a lab safety officer who hasn’t experienced a positive emotion since 2007
It’s not a mess, it’s a “working lab”… That I haven’t cleaned since the big boss was last here 3 months ago. Shit he’s coming next week…
Na it’s a giant bottle of medical grade ethanol way cheaper and you can flavour it however you like.
My pure ethanol recently went up 5x to over 200/gallon.
In my area ethanol got literally inaccessible.
Don’t know what the hell is going on, but we survive off reserves, and save as much as we can.
“oops i got formaldehyde poisoning better administer some treatment!”
The alcohol may not be for science, but it sure helps with writing grant applications.
Just to clarify… the coffe cup is the science experiment?
only if there’s a lab notebook full of observations and measurements next to it
“today, the sentient mold asked for more water, and some more bread to grow on” is not something you leave lying around for the sentient mold to read!
(It’s all fun and games until they start engaging in biowarfare…)
to be fair engaging in biowarfare is just about all that mold does
Now I get this meme video I saw the other day of a scientist drinking from a mug, gagging, spitting it back into the cup and saying “Ugh yep. That was the moldy one.”
Actually my house starter pack.
This is accurate for any lab regardless of discipline.
Obvious biohazard is a cute name for that dog
Oh fuck, everyone is like this?
This is just what it looks like when smart people are cooking up smart shit.
This is my office and I don’t appreciate it.
Can confirm 1 and 6
5/6, not bad
That’s just XQC’s desk
