I wonder why they don’t have some safety stop when they detect vibrations.
Mine vibrates the entire fume hood like a broken washer.

we would never get any science done

these small errors are actually needed for proper scienceing

I saw the who would win meme format with a centrifuge on the left and I was totally expecting a stuxnet joke

Pretty sure this was how Kevin Bacon blew up a science facility

I was in a freshman bio lab where an unbalanced centrifuge using glass test tubes sent blood and broken glass spraying over half the lab.
I hated lab courses so much I ended up just going into theoretical biology.

I am theoretically a biologist!

The duck is theoretical biology?
PrinceWith999Enemies@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Exactly. For me, it’s been about creating mathematical and computational models of biological and ecological dynamics. There’s a researcher in what we could safely call computational sociology, which similarly tries to create a working model of social dynamics that exhibit/explore social processes (eg, altruism and contagion models). I e done a lot of work in that field too, because a lot of the math and systems theory is the same behind both.

God I feel the pain. Now I consider our bloody centrifuge a reasonable experience. Noticed a droplet of blood while the other students loaded in their capillairy tubes. Went to get some sds and alcohol to clean it. I return to see it turned on and spinning. Swore to never trust any lab equipment ever again. Was I glad to have that hep A/B shot.
The extreme centrifuge was even more fun. Luckily most students were too scared to weigh the counter balance. So I got to balance that ±0,002gram tolerance fucker. No walls were broken.
