It's very strange the PPE isn't often available in more sizes or shapes, given how important it is to be right!

Most training needs repeating annually... it's a perpetual cycle of endlessly clicking through stock images

Narrator: The draw was never sorted later

More movies should start with "I think we can just score the COSHH a 6 not an 8, what's the worst that can happen."

This is a cartoon we made for someone that cares a great deal about FAIR data

They're bad at data analysis because they didn't use a formula with enough superfluous Greek letters

While making smarter automatic pipettes no one stops to think should we make smarter automatic pipettes

Every time I post this cartoon it makes me want to watch Date's Peak, the most factually accurate of all volcano movies.... ;)

A lot research went into this cartoon (I once met an oceanographer)

Choosing a title for your PhD thesis is tricky but don’t make it too accurate #AcWri

Research grants take hundreds of hours to write and cause so many sleepless nights, but it’s okay as there are good reasons to write them #academia

Geologists have to contend with a lot of unexpected problems out in the field 💩🐈 #geology

Click chemistry is a term for a class of chemical reactions which join two molecules together. If your chemistry actually 'clicks' put it down slowly and step back!

Sadly our idea of charging people £7.99 for a blue tick to put on their experimental results didn’t pan out

Most frighting lab ‘hack’ I ever saw was someone super gluing up a cracked chloroform bottle. The best is using a cut up rubber glove as a hair tie

This is a cartoon we draw a while back for @PhysicsWorld about the similarities of physicists and cats, still feels pretty accurate although I think needs a 5th panel about their love of snacks

There are plenty of typos in journal papers but this one about cooing powders was just too adorable to not be a cartoon (HT to our discord follower rabbit for pointing this one out). If you've found any others let us know!

I know that I shouldn't have a folder on my computer that is the equivalent of a mouldy dumpster, full of random data. But I do 🗑️

In my defence sometimes I don't include the attachment with an email because I'm forgetful #Email #Comms

I think there is a lot of potential for a science-based cover of Barbie Girl by Aqua #Barbie #Chemistry

Beware of people asking for quick favours and their capacity to destroy any work-life-health balance you might have

Nothing like someone picking apart your data not realising how much is balanced on top of it... #Jenga

Everyone gets imposter syndrome at some point. It's not fun and feels terrible but it'll pass #MentalHealth #SelfCare #ImposterSyndrome

Other books in this series include Lord of the drosophila and Pride and peer review

If only most scientific equipment was half this compatible

The art of non-committal responses on video calls while distracted by a GIF of a cat is something everyone should learn

If anyone knew that I mostly use Google for checking very basic maths I'm fairly sure they'd take away my degree (other search engines are available) #Google

Anyone who has worked in a cold room knows that you always need n+1 layers to stay warm while you sort your experiment out

It would be so nice if we could all get the lab space we need, but sadly that is just not possible while that lab is slightly too far from the parking structure

In the Venn diagram of results, my results never seem to overlap with sense
