Question: : where is ur lab located in is it a hot lab or cold lab is it in united kingdom greece america spain tenerife anywhere

My lab is based at the University of Liverpool in the northwest of England, UK. Our labs are very broadly kept between 15 °C – 25 °C, depending on the weather.

If the labs are too cold, then the scientists feel very chilly, and some of the chemicals we work with begin to freeze. If our labs are too warm, then scientists may wear fewer layers to stay cool (but may sacrifice important safety equipment like a lab coat), and some of our chemicals may evaporate into the air.

Labs exist all around the globe, but we try to keep them at a consistently warm (not cold, not hot) temperature using air conditioning so that we can work safely and comfortably, while the chemicals, cells, and equipment we work with are all okay.
