Awkward Science Stock Photography
April 4th, 2010
Most of my blogging time is dedicated to my hit image blog Fresh Photons these days, but I recently came across this great image above on a blog called Awkward Stock Photos. Whimsically, I decided to see what other stock images were available under the tag “Experiment” and I basically laughed my way through 70 pages of results. To be honest, most of them aren’t so bad, but here are some of my personal favourites,
The copper sulfate guzzler,
The movie villain chemist,
90% of the pictures are of scientists squinting at beakers. Ah, so this is how one does science!,
Science is serious business,
Wait, what?
Oh, I guess it’s a standard chemical reaction,
Just an alien fetus,
It’s about time some scientist extracted the essence of love,
Love extraction failed,
On the contrary, this one is titled “successful experiment”. Great Job!,
Who let sexy tomb-raider into the lab?,
The ‘dot’ in Photos.com adds some extra flair to this one,
Good old topless chemistry,
At least wear a bra!,
Much better,
Girls Gone Wild in the lab y’all,
Lensless safety goggles are also all the rage, I hear,
Fun with needles,
No gloves, but at least he’s focussed on the task at hand,
“Ok, Now try being a more menacing scientist”,
This looks bad…,
Oh nevermind, it’s all good,
Blatant animal testing (via interrogation), “ANSWER US, DID YOU LAY THESE EGGS?!”,
Here’s a lady using a multimeter to clean the crap out of her keyboard,
Cheers to good science and a romance-free workplace,

Nice compilation this.

Wear safety glasses for protection. Wear nothing else but a camisole.

Well the woman with trying to use the multimeter is a mac user so it’s understandable that they don’t know how a computer works.

You got me at, “ANSWER US DID YOU LAY THESE EGGS!?”

I think it’s safe to say that no, he probably did not lay those eggs.

this would be funnier if these people were not so retarded as to think ‘glasses = smart’ ‘white coats = science’…
some stereotypes are insulting, other just make you go

My fave are the apparently-tubetop-wearing “scientists.” but, hey, they’re wearing goggles…

I love where the “dot” in “photo.com” ended in the “Good old topless chemistry” lady’s mouth…

“No gloves, but at least he’s focussed on the task at hand,”
he looks like Shaun Micallef.

Dudez, “this looks bad” totally looks like me at work. Almost hurt myself laughing. Then the “never mind, its all good” blindsided me with scientific relief and the laughing, oh the laughing… you made me hurt from laughing. Thanks, I needed this.

The chicken being interrogated is a Rooster; So, “probably not” is your answer.

Why would an agency watermark this crap? I’d be embarrassed to have my firm’s name on any of these?

Lensless safety goggles? Great Kandor, it’s a scientist hipster.

I’ve seen that last one before. I think it’s the opening scene from something on the Porn Side of the Internet.

These people have never heard of PIPETTES??? How can there be Science without Pipettes??? Just watch ANY TV news story about ANY science, even astronomy, for God’s sake, and you’ll be treated to the thrilling sight of lab techs using pipettes!
Love the colored [generic powdered soft drink mix] solutions, too. That and the various kinds of beers.
Great series!
