Life pro tip for friends of pharmacists

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
We still give them shitloads yeah, but it's complicated. Changes have been made globally. There's basically no risk to us. The antibiotics don't get into our food, and the superbugs that might breed aren't viable in humans. Wild animals still pose more risk.
But diseases jump from non-humans to humans all the time?
At least, Wikipedia chooses to spell out the sentence "Most human diseases originated in non-humans" and lists a who's who of pandemics as such: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoonosis
Or do you mean something different?
