Expectation:
-
Wearing a sleek lab coat like a scientist
-
Performing cool experiments
-
Discovering life-changing breakthroughs
-
Feeling like you’re in a sci-fi movie
Reality:
-
Lab coat covered in stains
-
Pipetting the same solution for 2 hours straight
-
Contaminated cultures — AGAIN
-
Instruments malfunction at the worst time
-
Praying your PCR results even show bands
It’s not glamorous — but it’s unpredictable, messy, and somehow… we love it!
