Expectation vs Reality: Biotech Lab Edition

Expectation:

  • Wearing a sleek lab coat like a scientist :lab_coat:

  • 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 :face_with_spiral_eyes:

It’s not glamorous — but it’s unpredictable, messy, and somehow… we love it! :sweat_smile::dna:
