If you’re looking for a science site with a distinctively different angle, LabLit may be what you’re after. Conceived with an aim to demolish misleading stereotypical images of scientists, the site aims to provide “real laboratory culture” and is aimed at both scientists and nonscientists. The name is a bit of a play on words, alluding to realistic literature portrayals of scientists. Perusing the offerings at the site, I discovered that the list of recommendations is not restricted to printed media, but also includes plays and even TV shows. The site’s archives contain original works divided into 15 categories, including humor, essay, editorial, poetry, profile, and fiction, to name a few. The site’s creator, Dr. Jennifer Rohn, welcomes contributions from readers and I heartily recommend aiding the effort. A great idea that scientists should embrace. You have nothing to lose but your lab jackets.
