What advice would you give your younger self on their first day in the lab?

We all have tasks in the lab that we procrastinate doing...

What’s one lab task you actually enjoy that everyone else seems to have... different opinions about?

🔊 This one's for our Milli-Q Lab Water Fan Club: Relatable moments in the lab, lab water edition 😎

What's a cannon event most scientists experience when they first start working in the lab?

What’s your go-to science analogy when explaining your work to non-scientists?

Happy Monday! How's your day going? Describe your day using only lab equipment. We’ll go first: Pipette. Cryo-gloves. Coffee mug. Blots.

It’s Friday the 13th... so we have to ask: Does your lab have any superstitions to make sure experiments work? Same pipette, same bench.. only run blots on Tuesdays? What's your lab superstition?

Your pipetting setup = your personality. Share a photo of your pipette station, tip boxes, and/or how you organize your bench!

*sci-fi character presses 3 buttons and creates new molecule* Your non-STEM friend: That was amazing! You: Just.. no. What's your favorite example of this?

We're just going to leave this right here...

We're in an artsy mood today! We'd love to see your pipette tip art.
