When I worked at the college we had a variety of labs for the students to work in, from anatomy and biology to chemistry and physics. Too intellectual for this custodian's brain cells but I did clean those labs and always was looking around at the equipment they all used and the projects people were working on. I give credit where credit is due, most of those students were very smart people and I can only hope that, once they finished college, they went on to be great scientific minds.
The one thing I noticed is that all of those different labs had one piece of equipment in common, they all used some form of
laboratory ovens. I have no doubt that these ovens were required, I suppose that lots of lab creations need to be cooked in some fashion or another so you need an oven or, in some cases, a hot plate. Always made me chuckle to find the hot plates sitting on a counter with a teacher's coffee cup still sitting there. Guess lab work isn't the only thing in a lab that needs heat!
I applaud anyone, student or teacher or even an individual that does lab work. I recall that once a ventriloquist created an artificial heart that worked so you never truly know where something wonderful is going to be created. Maybe one day someone just being creative at home will find a cure for cancer or even the common cold. That would be fantastic!
If you like to dabble in laboratory work, you need an oven, so please go check out the fine ovens and hotplates and furnaces. Who knows, maybe the next great creator will be you.
