When the honour is given to that scientist personally the happiness is sweet indeed. Science is, on the whole, an informal activity, a life of shirt sleeves and coffee served in beakers.

Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.

Greek Poet

Often found in laboratories, a beaker is used by scientists for mixing or measuring liquids.

Scientific Usage

Beakers can be made of glass or plastic, with glass being more common in experiments due to durability and heat resistance.

Material Matters

Unlike cups or mugs, beakers aren't typically used for drinking, especially in scientific contexts.

Not for Drinking

In the UK, a beaker can refer to a large drinking cup often associated with traditional or historic contexts.

Traditional Drinking

A beaker for beer is usually used in casual settings like festivals or informal gatherings, not formal events.

Informal Gatherings

Using a beaker for drinks can give a rustic or old-fashioned feel to the drinking experience.
