Scientific laboratories, or labs, are special places where scientists explore, experiment, and discover new things about the world. In a lab, you might see tools like microscopes, test tubes, and beakers, along with safety gear like gloves and goggles. Scientists follow careful steps to mix, measure, and observe different materials to learn how they work. Follow along with Nandu as he shows you around his lab at the Center for Neuroscience Research, pointing out common tools and explaining how scientists use them to make new discoveries that can lead to better medicines and a deeper understanding of how our bodies work.
