Subject: Confusing risk message?

Several thoughts regarding the picture:
   
  1.  The students ARE wearing personal protective equipment!!!  It was not that long ago that students and professionals were often depicted in photo ops. without adequate ppe and/or without eye protection.
  2.  If the mentors sof the students are working  to instill a culture of safety, hopefully that culture will stay with the students in other activities.
  3.  This may not be a case of overkill with  the ppe vs. activity.  This may be a case of "cool factor."
  4.  If these students contine through their science education with teachers and mentors that value safety, the safety lessons will hopefully contine through and beyond college.
