An excerpt from above link that nearly exactly describes experiences with my former molecular-biology grad student girlfriend..

[quote]
You open the toothpaste with one hand.
You wash your hands before and after using to the washroom.
For you, media is something which increases your culture.
You can identify organs on roadkills.
You have a callus on your thumb.
You use the word "aliquot" in regular sentences.
Sometimes you momentarily vanish from social activities because of a timepoint.

I relate to all these and my family thinks I'm wierd!

Aliquoting, incubation, protocols are common tterminologies that i tend to use even at home or non-scientific conversations.....

I keep saying the 4 deg fridge and the minus 20...when I am referring to the food/chips kept inside the fridge.. And they go,"WHAT?"

hahaha

While I was a grad student in the Biotechnology program at BSU, some of us came up with a top 10 t-shirt:

You know you're a biotech nerd when...

10. You've accidentally dumped a box of tips

9. You begin to think in microliters instead of the normal, larger system

8. You've suppressed the urge to shoot pipette tips across the room

7. It feels like Christmas when the department gets new equipment

6. You wear more latex than porn stars

5. You begin to think that L broth smells like chicken soup

4. You've used the word "aliquot" outside of the lab

3. Scientific journals become bathroom reading material

2. You step back to admire your gels

1. You develop a preference for certain brands of pipettes

You know you're a labrat when...

You've killed a forest of trees printing out scientific journal articles.
