I am going on my first ride-along tomorrow with an equine repro specialist. Im so excited. My question is what is appropriate attire? Scrubs? Jeans? Business casual?
Sorry to sidetrack, but this made me laugh... After a certain time in labs, clinics, and other professional-but-dirty environments, I have an entire wardrobe of exactly that - nice-ish machine-washable permanent-press clothing that I don't particularly like or care if it gets dirty. You hear the EM folks debate exactly the same issue for what to wear in the hospital (want to look professional, likely to get thrown up on). I wonder if this is a niche in the fashion industry just waiting to be exploited: "Designed especially for science and medical professionals! Nice-ish but hard-wearing clothes you don't like that much!"...maybe a nice-ish looking shirt, but one you don't necessarily like or care if it gets dirty.

Are steel toes a yes or a no?
