JGK: that's the point, and it's the thing we're all getting wrong. If you turn the lights out and look at everything with a torch (preferably a funny-coloured torch that you have to hold at shoulder height with your arm in an odd position), it all suddenly comes clear.
Everyone: how come they also always have wall-sized screens and video-links that actually work? And I want the 3d thing from Bones please. Hey, but at least in the real world it's possible to be as ugly as me and still work in a lab without either learning a martial art or getting blonde hair extensions.
By the way, why doesn't my centrifuge print out GC chromatograms like happens in TV?
Oh, and can I have a coffee machine in the lab, like Quincy?
That 'Quincy' remark reminds me of University.
All of the new students coming in to Toxicology wanted to be like Quincy. You should have seen their faces when we told them that being like 'Sam' - the underpaid, overworked, never-let-out-of-the-lab assistant was closer to the truth.
