When I put together this post showing some awesome science photos, I expected to be amazed, but not to find myself becoming extremely cheerful. However, in the middle of digging for cool research image material, I went deep into Fermilab‘s Visual Media Services Photo Database and found a lot of visual treasure.

Fermilab has more than 4,000 stock science photos, mostly captured for journalistic illustrations—and a few of them are funny as hell. Here is a selection of their best.
