Derpy With The Herpy
COLLEGE & UNIVERSITY, HEALTH & BODY, NEW YORK, RUDE & RISQUE, STUPID, USA | HEALTHY | AUGUST 9, 2018
(I’m visiting a zoology lab that researches amphibians, which is a facility I’ve never been in before. While I’m sitting in an office chatting with a PhD student and waiting for a meeting, I notice a post-it that says “Clinic” and has a phone number.)
Me: “Hey, that’s not the extension for student health.”
PhD Student: “Oh, no, that’s a [City] free clinic. They do STI testing.”
Me: “Uh… Okay.”
PhD Student: “Yeah, it gets more use than you’d think around here.”
(My understanding of what the amphibian lab gets up to slowly starts to dissolve, when the PhD student speaks up again.)
PhD Student: “Yeah… People just Google ‘herpetology’ without knowing what it means, apparently.”
