I remember in high school we had to wash beakers with sulfuric acid to make sure there werenβt any traces of heavy metals left.
You should have used lighter metals instead.
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.
I'm liking these science field memes
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!
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.
at this point being able to get a job as a dishwasher is a profound privilege
