The irony is strong with this one! Scientists telling us to cut down on plastic while their labs look like a Ziploc bag convention gone wild. That mountain of sample bags could probably form its own plastic island in the Pacific. It's the classic "do as I say, not as I do" scenario playing out in real-time. In fairness, scientific research often requires sterile, single-use plastics to prevent cross-contamination—but still, maybe invest in some glass containers or biodegradable alternatives? The researcher's slightly uncomfortable expression says it all: "Yeah, I know... I'm part of the problem." Scientific necessity meets environmental hypocrisy in its natural habitat!
