I made an account solely to assert my #Decembergang allegiance, but also to hopefully cheer someone up with this story: I was training new undergrads (in a lab that does soft material engineering, so we work with brains). The guy is nice, but not experienced at all with biosafety. So, I watch him touch the brain then the mouse of the computer. Internally, I am crying: but I try to be gentle and tell him that's a really serious thing to NOT do, and to sanitize everything. My boy then proceeded to clean off his GLOVES, but not the mouse he'd touched while we all stare at him as if an alien had descended into the lab. No ill will against him at all, I just love that story.
