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.

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?

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."

Obvious biohazard is a cute name for that dog

This is accurate for any lab regardless of discipline.

Actually my house starter pack.

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
