Last week Amber took me to work with her. She works in Seattle at a biotechnology company called PhaseRx. Most of her work is done in a science lab. The lab is in an area called Lower Queen Anne, right on the Puget Sound where cruise ships and ferries go by all day long.
We started our day at her desk. We had to do some math calculations to decide how much of different chemicals we wanted to add when we went into the lab.
Safety is VERY important in labs. Everyone wears a lab coat and eye protection whenever they are in the lab.
I have an existing eye injury so I chose to work in the chemical safety hood which has glass to keep your eyes safe.
We worked in the lab and I even got to look at things under the microscope.
Have you ever been in a science lab? What was your favorite thing there?
Seattle Fun Fact: Seattle has the highest percentage of residents with a college degree or higher.
