On lab coats:

Frankly, I never understood why anyone at any time thought wearing a 
lab coat was a good idea.  The sleeves get in the way, the thing is 
just too loose and makes it much more likely that I'm going to spill 
something (like with a sleeve).  And why would I want to have an 
extra layer of soaked-through clothing to need to remove in case I 
really do spill something serious?  (I'm a chemist.)

If ANYthing, I need a waterproof rubber APRON as protective gear.

The things should not just be banned from the media's perception of 
us scientists, they should be banned, period!
