And all I got was a lame email from Pfizer, sigh, lol.

Where’s my holiday pay! Help this feel real! :)

For those of you asking “why today?”, the answer is James Lind’s scurvy trial on May 20, 1747 (yes, I checked).

All I’m saying is, if we’re collectively inventing niche holidays, this one feels like it’s missing citrus-themed fruit baskets for clinical trials staff (at minimum).

On hot days, are we all keeping a spare lab coat in the cold room, or just me lol?

(Figured I’d throw this out there for anyone else working in labs with underperforming A/C!)

I haven’t experimented yet with pre-chilling it using other methods (fridges, freezers, dry ice), but short of liquid nitrogen, I also haven’t ruled any of these out yet either lol. As long as it’s clean & folded up in a sealed biohazard bag, what’s the risk here? I suppose if it’s in a dry ice chest you’d have to rig a little shelf with styrofoam so it’s not touching directly, but…anyways, looking for input! :)

ETA: To everyone assuming I’m speaking to you from a third world country…the lesson I’m learning here is I should probably have been complaining to management about the A/C a LOT more, lmao 😂

I needed to share this somewhere other people might find said moment equally hilarious lmao.

Anyone else sitting on humor way too lab-specific to be relatable to a general audience? Please share!
