Not a comment on this chapter but the series in general: I get it goes against the gyaru aesthetic, but the lab inappropriate attire is bothersome. I don’t think it sends the wrong message since it obviously isn’t a serious manga, but it could.
Hotpot with the autoclave? Wtf?

Haha, yeah. I have served as a safety rep for my lab since I moved into industry and I work in a BSL2 space, so I was dying on the inside when they were cooking using lab equipment. Though, back when I was in grad school, I was a complete idiot about biological safety. I spent years working with salmonella and never knew what a BSC was for instance. I think it was a byproduct of being in a physics lab instead of a biochem lab. None of us knew how to do biological things the right way. Instead, I was much more concerned with laser safety around some of the YAG lasers we used that had the capability to instantly fry my retina if I wasn’t careful.

I did theory partially to avoid these problems (serious). I don’t know what rules my friends in the laser lab had. I mostly remember sending students home because of clothing faux pas, particularly open-toed shoes.
