Based on the response of Twitter users, few were able to overlook a very staged photo of Ivanka in junior scientist mode, carefully pouring a chemical compound … into her hand? On the floor? It’s difficult to tell exactly what she’s doing other than trying her best to cosplay a scientist.

Going beyond the aesthetics of the photo, some more scientifically adept souls took to criticizing her dangerous lab practices.
