I've worked in a couple of labs with both men and women in them, and I've never had a problem with sharing space associated with either gender, I just get a bit paranoid that I'm seen as taking up space and resources that could be used by someone actually doing a 'proper' project.<br /><br />And despite calling myself one (which I do mostly because I work in a lab without getting paid at the moment) I have never worked with lab rats either. So I don't know how they react to cramped conditions.<br /><br />Overall I think there is more likely to be a hierachy split (A post-doc is less likely to move for you than a PhD student - which to be fair I wouldn't complain about) than a gender one.Lab Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07962574174521597312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341686541622227200.post-41491009301634182762009-11-20T18:06:30.150+00:002009-11-20T18:06:30.150+00:00To my knowledge, males are better to share items i...To my knowledge, males are better to share items in the lab comparing with females. It is totally opposite for mice (or rat): males are always difficult to share a cage while they are not from the same litter. Agree? (No offense)Cliffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647273216927907178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8341686541622227200.post-62323328669130747342009-11-12T03:43:34.854+00:002009-11-12T03:43:34.854+00:00Ah... politics.
