He Left MOLDY Food Out... and Saved the World?! Apparently, Alexander Flemings careless decision to leave his petri dish of bacteria exposed led to the discovery of penicillin and changed the course of human history. Who knew being a little sloppy could have such a huge impact on science? watch full video: https://youtu.be/u4FDd1C5rQk?list=PLjBgcvtYPpOR5EnpdrTsvvYOkpZCXBwff

Thought this was going to be a good investment. I bought them as babies and waited for them to grow up into big cookies 🍪 But it’s been 2 months and nothing has happened...I was feeling a little snacky this afternoon and got tired of waiting...stupid science. #ScienceFail (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_50k3hAVR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=28r09cz6qfxm

D23/100: Using gloves on your keyboard This badge was based on a suggestion by Marcela! TFW someone uses gloves on your computer! 😱 Honestly though, this is often self-inflicted. Sometimes you put a glove on and then need to check something on your computer. Gloves are clean, no harm no foul. Sometimes the gloves have been on for a while but you know it's going to be hard to put new gloves back onto your sweaty-ass hands after taking them off. You can alt-tab with just the edges of your gloved hand, right?? What's your favorite technique? I've also used my elbow on my trackpad. #100daychallenge #100daysofdrawing #achievementunlocked #illustrator #sciencefail #sciencewins #lablife #sciencelife #gloves #foreverunclean #keyboard #labsafety #typing #contamination

D22/100: Getting the weight just perfect This animation was based on a suggestion by @elaineab1 ! There's nothing like adding that last bit of powder with your scoopula or spatula and getting the weight just right. Unfortunately, because the animation is looping, it does look like the (very realistic) Sisyphean nightmare that is the weight constantly readjusting. Have fun weighing things out forever or changing your standards of acceptable accuracy. It is ironic that an analytical balance can destroy your work life balance. ;( #100daychallenge#100daysofdrawing#achievementunlocked#illustrator#sciencefail#sciencewins#lablife #sciencelife #weighing #analyticalbalance #weightymatters #weightwatchers #weightgain

D21/100: Not having enough master mix for a full reaction Depending on whether you budgeted for a little extra, this is etiher a #sciencefail or a #sciencewin. I often add the little bit of master mix I have left as a bonus control reaction! :D #100daychallenge#100daysofdrawing#achievementunlocked#illustrator#sciencefail #sciencewins#lablife #sciencelife #PCR #mastermix #zerowaste

D20/100: Having the perfect amount of master mix Another super satisfying thing is having juuust enough master mix. You know, when you go to pipet up the last bit and it leaves just a tiny drop in the master mix tube. Don't worry, we'll return to negative badges on Friday.. ;) #100daychallenge #100daysofdrawing#achievementunlocked #illustrator#sciencefail #sciencewins #lablife #sciencelife #PCR #mastermix #goodtothelastdrop

Day 18/100: Turning off your timer just in the nick of time! Perfect timing! Nothing makes you feel as coordinated in lab as getting to your timer right before it goes off. No #overlyhonestmethods this time. ;) This animation was inspired by @emachlin, who always seemed to juggle her various incubations and reactions effortlessly. Beep beep beep! #100daychallenge #100daysofdrawing #achievementunlocked #illustrator #flash #animation #sciencefail #sciencewins#lablife #timer #perfecttiming
