Oh ChemisTree


We're as busy as elves before Christmas at the lab! The sounds of jingling glassware and Charlie Brown Christmas fill the air as we work.

This is our version of a ChemisTree.
We decorated with lab supplies and other departments helped decorate too, so we have shipping, bacti, and wet chem ornaments. Some strange objects appeared like the I <3 Joe post-it, but that's what makes it fun.

We added some of our favorite work things too like tea bags and k-cups.

Of course we made the tree topper a glove from our room. HoHoHo!

Mostly our ornaments are random science objects.  See how many you can identify.

This is our board from 2015.  We didn't know at the time, but it would be our last Christmas all together. The original 4ladiesandabeaker crew...and a dude stockings.


It was so fun last year we made our chimney background again. Here is our 2016 lab version of stockings hung with care.


The dragon is by far my personal favorite, and was made by a coworkers daughter.



Our winter hood art adorned with all things cute and cuddly. The land of candy canes, lollipops, and gingerbread houses. 




My favorite penguin Kim drew.



The best piece of Christmas lab hood art from Jim the real artist.
Calvin and Hobbes snowmen

We also have a new QA director at the lab, and he brought with him a love of Olaf.  The whole lab plays a game of hide and seek Olaf.  Bacti Kim decided to give him a better Christmas attire, so here he is ready for the winter and the lab. 


It was the first decoration up so I'll let it leave the lasting impression:
Blue Balls of SPE

Okay they are funny but, I won't leave blue balls the end of the article.

Instead here is a picture of my festive kitty Gidget!
