Janitor Left To Dispose of New Life in Biochemistry Lab

 Ann Arbor, MI -- At the end of the school year, it's always the same. Janitor Ed Mann is left to clean out new life that the undergrads made from that DNA that they are messing with.

There are beakers and test tubes and pipets just oozing with life. This year it was even worse. The teaching assistant got sick and the professor was left teaching the labs. He always left an hour before the lab was over. The students merely rinsed the glassware and put it in the drawer. You need to use antibacterial soap. In some cases the new life was all over the bench and dripping on the floor.

Ed spent a week on just the bench tops. He was relieved of cleaning hallways and toilets. They sent another janitor to do that while Ed took care of the lab.

Most of the lab was looking just like in the catalog by the time Ed was done.
