It's a trap!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I was reading about some terribly unholy chemistry once where the researchers wanted to make a molecule but it just wouldn't happen. So they instead made it with a radioactive isotope of a heavier element, then as it decays the molecule becomes their desired product.

That is SICK. I love science hacks. Thank you for sharing!
