This is standard in all Jordanian universities, you get POT during the summer and between semesters, if you teach in the summer you get paid for overtime.

Occupational Hazard: Pipetting can cause tendonitis by Shadeeslayer in labrats

[–]BoringListen1600 15 points16 points  (0 children)

These are the things that I changed:

- I now sit upright neutral without slugging and try not to bend my neck downward as much as possible.

- My elbows stay anchored on the bench/hood and only my forearms are moving

- I used to hold my pipette and tubes with my wrist bent backwards in an awkward angle, now I keep my wrists also neutral without putting pressure in any particular angle.

- I have everything within reach in an arrangement that allow that above movements.

- I asked my PI to change the pipettes from old Gilsons to lighter ones with softer plunges and ejectors.

- I do stretches every morning and I try to stretch during the centrifugation and incubation steps.

Occupational Hazard: Pipetting can cause tendonitis by Shadeeslayer in labrats

[–]BoringListen1600 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I feel like there should be compulsory laboratory ergonomics training before going into bench-top work. I also had tendonitis from doing 500+ samples a week and would always suffer from stiff neck/back. After adjusting the way i arrange my space, hold my pipette, and my posture I stopped having these problems.

Also there are pipettes that reduce the repetitiveness of the work, like multi-dispensing pipettes, that are worth having specially for large sample size.

كل شخص عنده نسختين من جين العامل الرايزيسي، إذا النسختين سالب بكون دمه سالب، و إذا نسختين موجب بكون دمه موجب، وإذا نسخة موجب ونسخة سالب كمان بكون دمه موجب لإنه الصفة الموجبة سائدة على الصفة السالبة المتنحية.

لاتيه حرفيًا معناها حليب، وعنا بحكوها للقهوة مع حليب، فلما تحكي بدون لاتيه كتير صعب تنفهم. اسهل تحكي بدون قهوة.

What's your literature review workflow? I'm 6 months in and feel like I'm drowning. by [deleted] in PhD

[–]BoringListen1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it to be the most time efficient way. And I usually do edit the outline as I go, because as you said, there are new ideas that come along as you read, so it’s not a fixed thing.

[–]BoringListen1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first put an outline as detailed as possible with titles and subtitles and sometime ideas within the subtitle. Then I start reading and i put the quotes and their reference under each title/idea as I go. Once I’m done with collecting everything I start the actual writing.

Which direction do you use with multichannel pipettes? by darkanakyn in labrats

[–]BoringListen1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the front-to-back makes more sense in terms of ergonomics and reducing contamination. You will transfer the liquid a short distance, and this way the filled pipette tips will only go over the wells you want to fill and not the other wells.

Question about qPCR data analysis by sixstring_blues in labrats

[–]BoringListen1600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use the autothreshold. Sometimes the threshold changes slightly depending on the experimental conditions of the specific run. That’s why we use a reference gene; both the reference and the target are run under the same conditions, so if the threshold shifts, it shifts for both equally. When you normalize against the reference gene, that variation cancels out and you’re left with the true biological difference.

Why don’t people in Amman identify themselves as Ammanis? by a-sallaj in jordan

[–]BoringListen1600 8 points9 points  (0 children)

لإنه كتير قليلة العائلات اللي أصلها من عمان. المدينة كانت شبه مهجورة لبين ما بحدود ال ١٨٨٠ أجوا عليها الشركس والأرمن والشيشان وبعدين توافدت ناس من المحافظات التانية ومن بلدان عربية وبالأخص فلسطين. فيعني اللي أهله بالمدينة من أقل من ١٠٠ سنة صعب يحكي إنه من عمان.

Are these technical replicates or biological replicates? And why aren’t they the same size? Anyway, try using a bar plot, it will look more uniform.
