The duality of scientific existence captured in its natural habitat. The pristine lab microwave—where you'll find passive-aggressive notes about cleaning up after your sample explodes.

The same scientists who can split atoms somehow can't figure out how to put a cover on their leftover lasagna. Darwin would be fascinated by this evolutionary paradox.
