Happy Scientists
It's Friday and although I will be working over the weekend, I am feeling pretty cheerful. Lab life can get you down sometimes, a never ending stream of failed experiments, things to do, late nights, early mornings and a lack of appreciation. Personality clashes, politics and unwanted work are themes from any work life. But, sometimes, labs can be the most fun place to be, a source of comedy, fun and practical jokes. Here are some things that have made me SMILE and kept me HAPPY over the past 2.5 years. The people you work with can keep you going. Please share your sad times and good times (practical joke tales encouraged) and keep laughing. When it all goes horribly wrong (does it get any worse than boiling western blots with students?!)....... Someone might give you a special gift Look away! You might win a prize Supervisors can make or break you.... Someone always has cake You never know when
