Figure 1: Lab safety features/equipment. This picture shows some of the safety features of the lab the 2017 Rice iGEM team is working in. The lab is located in Keck Hall Room 201 at Rice University.

Figure 2: Personal protective equipment. Pictured here is one of lab members, Catherine, all decked out in her personal protective equipment for working with toxic potassium chromate. Lab coat, pants, closed-toe shoes, safety glasses, face mask, double gloves.
