I wash fancy dishes Mom, you just don’t understand
Also if I’m not careful I could dissolve my finger lol

You should have used lighter metals instead.
At my high school, teachers always said that there’s a biological hazard in the lab (they used the same lab for chemistry, physics, and biology), hence no laboratory class/experience. But that exact lab/room was available and used for teaching classes such as math, history, etc.
You mean they spilled something and were too scared to clean it up??
If I try to guess, it was just a ridiculous excuse instead of saying, we aren’t adequately equipped to manage a laboratory and will not want to be liable if an accident happened.
Was that their subtle way of saying children are dangerous?
I’ll be honest, even freshmen at university level behave like kids in a lab.
I’ll wash petri dishes instead
AHEM. Ackshually petri-dishes are mostly made of plastic these days and discarded with the rest of the biohazardous waste… At least in microbiology labs.
Also I love the word autoclave.
That is indeed a soothing word.
“Kim wipe”
“Standardized cuvette”
“Parafilm”
“disposable pipette tips”
Like the -80c fridges, it just gives you comfort that nothing is going to go wrong.
I’m liking these science field memes
Those are much cooler dishes!
Or, some times hotter. IDK. (Maybe I should check this before washing them.)
Eh just look at em they probably look different at different temperatures
Well those are fancy dishes, a nice upgrade.
Yeah but I bet you didn’t wash dishes with DI water at home now did you!
at this point being able to get a job as a dishwasher is a profound privilege

lethal dishes
Yes and subject my hands to the harshness of not just soap solution but also acetone, sometimes pet ether or even chloroform, not once, not twice, but several times in a day, every day.
My previous coworker (I could write a book on the shitty lab practices she exhibited on a daily basis) would shake out the glassware and hang it to dry. She didn’t understand that I could actually see the discoloration from previous tests. My bosses gave no shits, I did extra dishes, I gtfo at first opportunity.
