- Beads don’t represent an actual population… especially when they only come in two colours.
- Microscopes never work. Why do we still pretend they do?
- Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell… we get it.
- Every field of view diagram looks like a Van Gogh piece, no matter what is under inspection.
- You literally cannot differentiate between different kinds of cells; blobs are blobs.
- Everyone should get a coffee break during centrifugation.
- Lab buddies become real life buddies because of the struggle.
- “I’ll finish Part A, you finish Part B, and we’ll get Part C from another group.”
- 90% of the lab is unnecessary to read. The first few lines and the instructions are all you need.
- Sometimes not even the instructions.
- What colour pipette am I supposed to use? Let’s try blue… nope, not blue.
- Where did my experiment go? Oh my God. It evaporated.
- The end result is the wrong colour? Time to use my supreme BS skills.
- These experiments never turn out the way they’re supposed to.
- Toxic chemical? Guess my lab partner will deal with that…
- These goggles don’t fit over my glasses. I’m gonna go blind.
- Why does my 3-hour lab contain 5 hours worth of work?
- “I messed up. Can I see your answers?”
- I think I lost half of the mass to entropy.
- This was not worth waking up for.
