That's what I was wondering reading this thread. Much of science is dirty work in other fields and I think that is a good thing. How ridiculous to assume that a scientist doesn't clean their tools and set up their experiments. (Surely as one gets more experienced and older, the job likely becomes less manual, more about teaching and coordinating.)
