Des scientifiques partagent les photos les plus ridicules et les plus inexactes de leur travail

À moins que vous ne soyez pas un véritable scientifique, alors on vous pardonne de penser que travailler en tant que tel, c’est un peu comme travailler dans le Laboratoire de Dexter ou de celui d’Iron Man, réalisant essentiellement des miracles au quotidien.

La réalité en est tout autre et ce n’est probablement pas si intéressant que cela.

C’est là que le monde merveilleux des photos stockées entre en jeu, nous permettant de voir ce qui pourrait se passer dans un laboratoire si absolument tout était possible.

Les scientifiques présents sur Twitter ont utilisé le hashtag #BadStockPhotosOfMyJob pour partager les images les plus incrédibles qu’ils ont trouvées, et les résultats sont hilarants.

IFL Science rapporte que la biochimiste Nicole KPaulk a commencé la tendance en postant un premier tweet, et les choses ont dégénéré à partir de là.

Ce ne sont pas seulement les scientifiques qui sont soumis à des interprétations exagérées de leur travail.

As an evolutionary biologist, you have *no idea* how hard it is to find tweasers small enough to grab bits of DNA (which is the main part of our job, obvs) #BadStockPhotosOfMyJob pic.twitter.com/xtB7fvKI57

As a statistical biologist I often stand with a laptop in a lab surrounded by colourful liquids staring judgementally while a colleague pipettes with panache….Doesn’t everyone….? #BadStockPhotosOfMyJob pic.twitter.com/hxIhQPfHzn

Most climate scientists are 200 feet tall, and we frequently unleash thunderstorms on people having picnics so I have no problem with this one. #BadStockPhotosOfMyJob pic.twitter.com/EB67gFMfz2

I often like to express my severity with a black cardigan and severe bun to intimidate the popular girls who bullied me in high school. You're in my yard now, Jessica. A yard of intelligence. Of silence. Of finger pointing.

I sit in a dark room and project code straight to my face while solving complicated problems. This helps me to immerse myself in it and "feel" the code. #BadStockPhotosOfMyJob pic.twitter.com/eMtGurNr5d
