@DamonLisch Also want to add - I *regularly* tell my folks they don't need gloves for basic DNA preps (assuming non-hazardous reagents). We harvested DNA from plants in dirt. What I do say is "just don't spit in the tubes" but apparently that doesn't even matter.

Who's left on sci-twitter? I want advice about tube rotators. We have this one. Super common design. Piece of crap, wanna replace. The central rod is always falling out, The motor "catches". The paddles are not stable. Pretty sure it has planned obsolescence baked in.
