This was a wedding gift to a couple who are both scientists

Love it!

Someone gave me a set of gourmet salts from the Spice Lab for Christmas one year. They came in test tubes in a test tube rack. They are perfect my Home Lab (aka my kitchen). Although, that's about as close as I want to get to the lab bench from now on. As much as I love science, being away from the bench has been fantastic!

I think it's so cool we have so many scientists/science-y people here!

I am so bad at science, it's real-world embarrassing. In my 7th grade lab class, we were supposed to put this little tube full of chemical stuff (I'm smart) into a beaker of boiling chemical stuff (these are technical terms of course) on a hot plate. Well I actually dumped out the contents of the tube into the boiling stuff, and my teacher freaked out, asked me if I was trying to blow up the school, etc. Nope, just dumb.

Then in college, I had to take a lab science (Purdue loves its science) and so I took geology thinking it would be easy. I had to stay late once for help on some lab thing and I literally was just not getting it. Finally my teacher turned to me and asked what I was going to school for, was it science or whatever. I said no, I was starting law school next fall. He just nodded and said, "That's probably a good thing." Rude! lol

That's terrible, but so funny! lol

I know, I think I even kind of laughed when he said it. He was right though. I need Zoolander's school for kids who can't science good.

Don't feel bad, I've had my share of klutzy moments in the lab, and they still gave me a Ph.D.! The first week of freshmen general chemistry lab in college, i knocked over a graduated cylinder, broke the bottom part off, and sent it flying across the lab bench. In organic chemistry lab, we were supposed to keep our book bags in the locker under our lab bench, mine wouldn't fit so I had to keep it out... I must have spilled acid or something off the lab bench because and I burned a hole in it! Even in graduate school, I had my moments. Luckily, I DID NOT break the million $ microscope!

I had a java programming class with a girl who was majoring in comp sci and was set to graduate that semester and she didn't know how a programming loop works. (For anyone non-technical it's one of the first things taught as it's an essential part of basic programming) I spent 2-3 hours trying to explain before she gave up and then dropped the class and switched her major to comp info systems which was more business based. She still graduated that semester since she previously took the business classes.
I always wanted to ask her how she made it through the first two years which is all programming based. She's an IT help desk manager, her job only requires hardware knowledge so it did work out for her but anytime I think about it I just want to *face palm*.
