Two reasons to wear a lab coat in our lab

  1. higher ups or funders are coming and we need to look sciency

  2. the AC is high and its too cold (we dont control the thermostat)

this, do not take personal protection equipament unseriously, it is very important and may case legal trouble for you or your place of employment if you do not use it, refusing to use mandated safety equipament can and will cause termination of employment and is considered a valid justification for it

I always did like the feel of the various chemicals sliding over my gloves. Made me feel quite great about wearing them.
