Hello,
Some researchers here say they can't wear a mask and goggles/glasses at the same time because they fog up the lenses. A piece of cloth medical tape across the top of the mask to make a seal will fix that problem. Wearing a face shield
is another solution. Hope this helps.

Subject: [EXT] [DCHAS-L] PPE Excuses for Non-Compliance
Hi All
As a part of new COVID19 safety policies rolling out at the Broad Institute, we've also decided to actually enforce our PPE policy of wearing a lab coat and safety glasses when working in a lab. Part of the fall out are a lot of excuses
that we're hearing from researchers on why they're not complying.
I was hoping that you all could help me brainstorm additional excuses that you all have heard from students, researchers about why they aren't wearing the appropriate PPE.
I want to be ready with responses to each of these excuses. So I thank you in advance for your time with this.
Kind regards,
Pauline Serrano
