The Unofficial Scientific Taste-Testing Protocol

The Unofficial Scientific Taste-Testing Protocol
Field guide to scientific taste testing: Chemistry's hard "NO" is the difference between discovery and funeral arrangements. Geologists casually licking rocks to identify minerals is peak field science. Psychologists know better than to sample the human condition directly. Physicists remain baffled by the concept, which tracks with their relationship to practical applications. Zoologists have simply accepted their fate as prey items. Computer scientists testing 9V batteries with their tongues and calling it "debugging." Software engineers desperately trying anything when Stack Overflow fails them. And astronomers... well, they've clearly spent too many nights alone with their telescopes.

Can You Lick The Science?

Can You Lick The Science?
The forbidden taste test across scientific disciplines. Chemistry's vehement protest is actually solid advice—most lab chemicals will kill you faster than you can say "phenolphthalein." Geologists occasionally lick rocks to identify minerals (yes, really), while psychologists know the human mind doesn't need additional trauma. Physics just stares in confusion because you can't exactly lick quantum mechanics. The zoology reversal is painfully accurate for anyone who's worked with wild animals. And that astronomy pun? Just the kind of humor that sustains researchers through long nights at the telescope. Computer scientists testing 9-volt batteries with their tongues are nodding knowingly right now.
