More on looking the part

Mike Edmonds has a few comments regarding the study on lab coats and cleanliness from Dr. Silvia Munoz-Price and colleagues.  Lab coats are washed about every 12 days on average, even though 90% of the respondents were aware that they were potentially contaminated.  The most prevalent reason given for wearing lab coats? (hint, it is not to do lab work) - Instead, it is "to symbolize their profession", a reason that must be immensely gratifying to some.
