    I’ve worked in enough laboratories to know how ridiculous this is. Leave the dog outside of the room. You can kill the thing with fumes and spills. Even in an undergrad class this is still so reckless.

    Whatever you have the dog for is less important than the dog’s health. This PPE is pointless and ridiculous.

      Yeah… That’s just unnecessary to put a dog at risk like that, whether service or otherwise.

      Also, don’t work in a lab by yourself. Have a buddy, even if all they do is sit in a corner and scroll on their phone. Have someone there in case something happens.

      In the best case, you’ve maybe wasted some of their time. In the worst case, at least you’ll have company in quarantine.

    TIL animals may be allowed in chemistry labs. But then again, still remember my professor’s being very clear that mouth pipetting is bad idea, to then show us how to do it just in case.
