A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Context: My physics professor told me how early particle physicist would stick their head on a beam of a particle accelerator to check for a beam, they would know if their eyes would flash as the beam went through. Surprisingly this messed up their vision over time.
Unfortunately I cannot find a source on this, but I choose to believe my professor.
Edit: Found something though they don't talk about intercepting beams with their head

Discovery of the century, anti gravity beam!
Dr. Emilio Lizardo tests the crude prototype for the Oscillation Overthruster.
Only one way to find out
