Respect the Science

Let’s get one thing straight before the safety officer does:Coffee does not belong in the lab.

No drinks near the equipment. No mugs on the bench. No “just this once.” Science demands cleanliness, control, and respect for the rules—especially the ones posted in bold on the wall.

That’s exactly why this mug exists outside the lab.

What “Respect the Science” Really Means

Respecting science isn’t about slogans—it’s about methodology, evidence, and knowing where coffee is absolutely not allowed. Science runs on data, repeatability, and procedures that don’t care how confident you feel or how tired you are.

And once the gloves are off, the samples are stored, and the lab coat comes off? That’s when the coffee comes out.

The Post-Lab Fuel of Choice

Every scientist, engineer, and student knows the routine:

• Finish the experiment

• Log the results

• Wash your hands

• Then get the coffee

This mug is for that moment—at your desk, in the break room, at home, or anywhere caffeine is once again permitted. It delivers a clear message in bold white text on glossy black ceramic: RESPECT THE SCIENCE.

No disclaimers required.

Why This Mug Belongs on Your Desk (Not the Bench)

This mug is perfect for:

• Offices and home workspaces

• Study sessions and late-night grading

• Pre-lab mornings and post-lab debriefs

• Anyone who understands that rules matter

It’s durable, dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and sized appropriately for responsible caffeine consumption—outside controlled environments.

The Takeaway

Science works because boundaries are respected.So are lab safety rules.So is coffee—once you’re done.

Drink responsibly.Think critically.Respect the science.
