The two friends, who maintain a Science Stores pet fish named Alpha, are proud of the stores\u2019 recycling record. The office is one of the biggest recyclers on campus, even starting the recent Tim Horton\u2019s coffee cup recycling challenge. They also reuse packing peanuts, offering free bags to anyone who needs them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you like about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LW:<\/strong> I can sum it up and say everything. What job wouldn\u2019t be fun where you deal with vacuum-packed frogs and chemicals that melt your bones from the inside out? I come from the auto industry, and this was a shocker.
