    A person stands in a laboratory setting, wearing a white lab coat. They are holding a yellow container of test tubes in one hand, and a singular test tube, holding it up to the light to look at it, in the other hand. There are shelves of laboratory equipment behind the person, and their lab coat says "Neil Forbes" and "UMass Amherst" in small text on either side above the chest pockets.
