Scientific curiosity Memes

Every biologist knows that forbidden moment when you're running gel electrophoresis and suddenly think "I wonder what this tastes like?" The bite taken out of this gel tray is the universal lab crime we've all contemplated but few have dared.

The ruler markings just make it look like you're documenting exactly how much forbidden snack you consumed. Scientific curiosity: 1, Lab safety protocols: 0.
