Principal investigators (PIs) in academia often share their hard-earned wisdom through humorous lab rules, sayings, and analogies. These PI-isms can convey serious truths about critical thinking and succeeding in science, while also making PIs more approachable and fostering a culture of teamwork. Humor can also help with memory retention and creativity, and can make science more enjoyable for students and PIs alike. These sayings often spread through word of mouth, lab freebies, and social media, and can have a lasting impact on students' careers.
