        I have my desk in an office and then I also have a lab where we do experiments.

        I work on a big research site in Houston, Texas.

        You can see where I work here:

        Where do you go to school? Do you have a science lab?

        🙂

        i work on the top floor of the university of bristol synthetic (making molecules) building. This is because we do dangerous and explosive things so if something should go wrong we wont destroy the floors below us/ the whole building. I work in an L shaped lab where there are 12 fumehoods split into 3 sets of 4. There is a glovebox in the middle and lots of ovens for drying glassware. I will put up a picture on my profile. There are already pictures there of my fume cupboard.

        I work in a University, in a lab with lots of lab-type stuff (like conical flasks, etc). I’ll take pictures at some point. In the lab there’s a fume hood, because I do sometimes work with dangerous chemicals… as well as a bunch of equipment which provides me with the conditions I need to carry out experiments and analyse the stuff I make.

        Once in a while, when I make a fuel that’s suitable, I take it over to the Dept of Mechanical Engineering where they have a rolling road and a transit van. I put the fuel into it and run the engine, to see if it works on a real-life engine!

        I work in an office-like area. In addition to the desk and stationary, this area also has fumehood, chemicals, and of course, chemical waste. Therefore, this area only for people doing experiments, not for eating food, and play.
