Before we dive into the science, the inventions, and the tastings, here are the rules that keep our lab professional, organized, and fun:

1. The Scientific Look:

•  The Holy Trinity: Lab coat, tied-back hair, and closed-toe shoes – always.
• Hazardous Materials: Handle only after training, and always in the company of gloves and safety goggles.

2. Tech & Gear (Don’t Be a Hero)
Our equipment is sensitive; let’s maintain a healthy relationship with it:

• Training First: Only operate machinery after receiving a proper walkthrough from the staff. Please, don’t try to operate it on your own!
• Hear a Peep? In case of a malfunction, a suspicious beep, a squeak, or just general uncertainty – stop everything and call the team.

3. Time & Space Management
To avoid stepping on each other’s (closed!) toes:

• Book in Advance: Workstations, equipment, and the meeting room are waiting for you in the weekly planner. Booking early prevents friction later.
• Your Station: Stick to your assigned workstation. At the end of the day? Leave it clean and organized for the next person.

4. Raw Materials (The Exemplary Pantry)
We take pride in our organization; let’s work together to keep it that way:

• Order & Discipline: Our raw materials are perfectly organized; let’s try to keep them that way.
• Restock Alert: Running low on something? Don’t wait for it to vanish – let us know in advance so we can restock.

5. The Kitchen: The Heart of the Lab
This is our place to relax, but not from cleaning:

• No Soaking: Please do not leave dirty dishes in the sink.
• Protect the Heart: The kitchen is the heart of the lab. Clean up after yourself and treat it with care – just like your own heart.
