ummm. I really hope you you want the MAJORITY of MDs to be ineligible for this one.
Does making yogurt in microbiology lab count?
oooh I totally get this one. I am currently dissecting a cow, and have also dissected chickens and pigs in my lab.
Endangered species taste best.
Plant biology certainly has perks that most scientists don’t appreciate. The “I’ve eaten what I study” badge comes from some very tasty green tomatoes.
Brains!
For the record: Alligator is not as tasty as I was hoping. I’m still optimistic about the rattlesnake….
Well, I’m only in undergrad, but this was basically the entire lab section of my invertebrate Biology course. First, the dissection, and then lunch!
Crab, Lobster, Calimari. Yum.
Hepatic induction studies…and I love liver pate!!!
Crossover from the ‘Rock Licker’ badge: I’ve added sandstone to a sandwich and eaten it before. Nice and crunchy!
Mmmm sea urchins, in the lab and the sushi shop!
Technically every Chemist (and especially the organic and bio-chemists) qualifies for this one as you will have definitely consumed one or more of the very compounds that you are working with.
PTC taste testing for a lab in Intro Bio. We also had to taste Benzoate and Thiourea. I’m a non-taster, homozygous AVI, and it was still disgusting. The PTC didn’t taste of anything, but the Benzoate and Thiourea were terrible.
