Profarell

A senior professor who watches others doing lab work, hands clasped behind their back, offering occasional unsolicited advice.

Inspired by umarell, the Bolognese term for a pensioner who watches construction sites and offers unsolicited advice to the workers.

Prof. Jones hasn’t held a pipette since 1998, but he’s still our most dedicated profarell.
