President Barack Obama is launching a version of "take your child to work day" that's focused on America's science laboratories instead of its corporate workspaces.
It's part of Obama's effort to encourage young people, especially girls and minorities, to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. [...]
The students, including from communities aligned with Obama's "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, will participate in mentoring sessions, hands-on experiments and other activities. My Brother's Keeper is a public-private initiative started by Obama to help boys and young men of color stay on the right path. The White House Council on Women and Girls is also involved. ...

I was troubleshooting one of our treaters and made the mistake of touching the bar while energized. I’m guessing it was about 20k volts. Thank God I wasn’t touching ground. Got quite the shock.
Take your children to abortion clinic/lab
What was the amperage? I get zapped by the much voltage all the time on automotive coils. But the amperage is nihl.
Worked in a biologics plant producing human blood products. The microbiology and chem labs also contained the possibility of pathogens. Most places there you just didn’t bring kids... The offices and cafeteria were really the only places that untrained neophytes could safely enter.
Soon to be followed by “Take Your Child Who Identifies As Female To an Abortion Clinic” and “Take Your Child Who Identifies As Male To a Bathhouse” days.
Don’t know the amperage. It was pretty strong. High frequency high voltage. Probably milliamps. I was not touching ground so it was just induced current. It was pretty freaky. I’ve been zapped by 480VAC, 577VAC, 240, 110, etc. Even some pretty painful static shock. The corona feed was an all over body experience.
Those high vAC numbers are almost sure killers. 220 kills many people. I play with 110 with the power on sometimes. But always power down 220.
We had some 440 pieces of equipment I was scared crapless to work around (around the wiring).
