Cute? Cute?
A BSc, MSc and PhD and THAT’S your reaction?! Cute?!
Sir, that is a scientist!
Respect the coat! The soft, fluffy coat!

Respect the coat! The soft, fluffy coat!
Awwww, such a respectable boi!
::boops hims respectable snooooot::
Now this is a person who knows science!
That’s Dr Good Boi, hims didn’t get a phd to just be a good boi
He looks like he has no idea what he’s doing.
He's just like me!
PhD candidate
Just like my ochem lab partner. We just huffed diethyl ether on the sly and tried not to fuck up too much.
TIL animals may be allowed in chemistry labs. But then again, still remember my professor’s being very clear that mouth pipetting is bad idea, to then show us how to do it just in case.
I ate cancer cells of a person who died 40 years before me trying mouth pipetting
That sounds HeLa awkward.
My chem teacher was also the lab instructor. He would talk about how gloves are important because of the permeability of human skin. Then next lab would put a drop of dcm on his hand. Still not sure why he did that. Maybe he was illustrating it having a fairly low vapor pressure¿
I had a classmate that managed to dump nitric acid all over themselves doing that. Luckily it wasn’t strong enough to not be funny.
Bro needs full hazmat suit.
I will say this is not enough PPE for a dog, especially if you’re doing acid titrations or something, I can’t imagine HCL is easy to get out of fur but it might give the dog a while before skin contact
I would imagine that there isn’t anything hazardous to that degree. I studied biochemistry, and I can think of a lot of different research areas that would include minimally hazardous materials (e.g. phosphate buffer)
Yeah, I’m hoping the image is just a cute joke and that the lab is actually not dealing with anything hazardous.
My bio labs required ppe as well as the chem.
So the Lab needs lab gear while in the lab?
This is just regular lab safety
It’s lab lab gear.
Where’s xzibit when you need him?
It’s fucked up that service dogs are the dogs you most want to pet, but you shouldn’t
Wait, you’re not supposed to pet service dogs?
i assume it can distract them from the things they need to be doing like paying attention for warning signs of seizures
No, they’re working. I know, I know; I’d be fine with people petting me while I’m working too…
Do they also need little boots because no open toes?
Meeeow
Doggles!
I always felt bad for the service dogs that had to walk around with bare paws in the chemistry building at university. There’s no telling what kinda stuff tracks around the halls out of labs on peoples shoes. Especially the ochem labs.
What a good dog.
No hate intended, I promise, but I will never understand why people react to seeing any dog as if it were their first time seeing a dog. I’m glad we have them, and I’m so grateful for service animals in particular, I just don’t understand the hyper-fixation.
Because the world is getting more grim dark by the hour so let me fawn over a dog in goggles for a minute and forget the pain dammit
doggles
So you don’t understand how it feels to find something cute? Or how people see other people as cute? Or as beautiful? Or as attractive? It’s just another human like everyone else, what’s the big deal? kind of?
(Not mad about you not relating to the love for dogs, just curious)
I do occasionally find people cute. But I don’t fawn over every person I see as if I’ve never seen a cute person before. This does not match my experience with the current cultural evaluation of dogs.
And maybe this is the crux of the issue, but I just don’t find human babies and dogs even remotely comparable. I have countless lifetimes worth of conditioning inside me compelling me to love, admire, protect human young; innate feelings and instincts on human babies written into my very DNA. Dogs are an animal.
I do sometimes find dogs cute, just like I sometimes find squirrels, lemurs, sloths, whatever cute, but it’s not an automatic response and it certainly doesn’t ever bring me to point of elation that seeing literally any random ass dog seems to bring so many others. I’m not even trying to suggest any judgement, if anything I’m just lamenting something that for my entire lifetime I have not been able to relate to or understand in my peers, which makes me feel somehow lacking, I guess.
