I'm a research assistant at a Neuropsychiatry lab. My main duties include managing, procuring, and assisting in the storage of postmortem human brain tissue. I don't do the dissection or anything (my boss does), but I freeze the fresh tissue when we get it and oversee our huge collection of freezers. I also catalog and manage all the pulverized tissue we have.
That said, I fucking hate my job ever since the university I work at switched to a clock-in system, rather than self-reporting hours. My boss used to let me take short weeks, and only required me to be around when I had actual work to do. That's no more and I'm still making the same entry-level pay I was before, so it's much less appealing now.

Yeah it is a pretty metal job. I see a lot more dead people than my undergraduate education in Biochemistry prepared me for. At times I wish I still had my teenage anger flowing through my veins rather than enough THC to sedate a small horse, because I could could easily channel some of that stuff into metal songs

I'm a research assistant too! I work in a robotics lab though. We do legged locomotion, like Boston Dynamics but not as good
Here's my robot doin' a little run outside! Far from the fastest gait I've got going, but we're working on some new controllers so it still needs tuning.
