In honor of STEMSTEAMDay🔬, ScienceCareers explores the value of letting kids visit the lab.
I remember the first time I wore a lab coat. I had been warned to put it on only in case of emergency, and as I pulled the white jacket from its hook and pushed my arms through the sleeves, I knew I was justified."Of course it's an emergency," I thought."It's been at least 15 minutes since I saw Mommy."
But I distinctly remember my mother mistakenly assuming that crayons and paper would occupy my attention for longer than they did. She told me to only come into the lab to find her in the event of an emergency, and if I did, I'd have to wear a lab coat, which is why my first experience with a lab coat was tinged with a sense of nervous independence.
But more than paranoia about Maya's classmates' opportunities, I felt like I was depriving her of the chance to peek into my world—and maybe even add a tally mark to the column of career influences.
Or maybe this is one of two drawings, and her teacher told her not to bring home the one that said,"WEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE THE STARFISH FROM FINDING NEMO." Whether or not it ultimately influences our children's career paths, the day at least shows them what the adult world is like. Why shouldn't there be a Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day? After all, isn't every day already Take Our Work-Induced Stress Home Day?
Explain why your research is important. In addition to impressing your child, this will also give you good practice perpetuating the lies you wrote in your last grant application.
