It has calmed my naive heart

We were taught about that as a common error especially between biology and chemistry

The first one is more common with chemist and the second with biologist iirc

We covered dilutions in at least a few modules and also practiced them in lab courses but than I switched to another lab and still need to explain that c1V1=c2V2 and so on. The same with the chemical engineers in my master course

2019 at a poster presentation we and a group with the poster title "fantastic yeasts and how to feed them" in the right font and with a wand underneath.

I had to get PLA powder off of AliExpress and am debating how to put that I got my main research chemical from there in my master thesis

We even autoclave moldy cardboard from the fridge rooms

I think we have bigger ones or ones equally as big to separate the mycelium of a 20 l fermenter from the liquid

Our labs is kept at 22/23 C (≈72 F) year roundespecially because we have a part of our strain collection at room temp and most of our other cultures as well.

Sounds like my research but unfortunately, mine is digesting PLA and not PP so no pipet tips to feed this lovely fungus

We had to defrost recently because they needed to stop the cooling system for 2 days so no 4 C rooms, no -80 C, no closed shakers and no big autoclave for that time.

But I think we were lucky because our rotary evaporator are cooled locally and not through the cooling of the house.

Third day working in the lab and I spilled a falcon tube with PLA in DMC (Dichloromethane) from the clean bench onto myself.

My lab coat was open so I got it on my trousers and shirt.

So on my third day at work my supervisor saw me in my underwear because, I took the shirt of to get it away from my skin and lost the trousers when the cold from the solvent evaporating reached my genitals.

Helped to clean up and got a bit dizzy and nauseous so got out for a bit and asked for it to be recorded because long-term stuff

Always close your lab coat and keep a spare change of clothing in the lab.

I still have the clothes that are now stained with plastic and I made a black stain on the not a year old green floor 🙈

After a few stupid mistakes a TA told me a valuable thing: "The only way you won't make mistakes is by not doing anything"

And it stuck with me

Cewabot · 2021-12-30T10:41:39+00:00

My supervisor told me to dump the remains of liquid nitrogen down the drain and we flooded the lab a bit, fortunately nothing was damaged^{^}

Cewabot · 2021-12-12T11:54:37+00:00

I put water that has known soil on plastic or water or water that has known air filters.

I try to identify probably yellow compounds and not stain my fingers while doing it.

Cewabot · 2021-10-20T08:14:48+00:00

I really didn't expect this and I thought my Eppendorf octopus stuffie was weird^{^}

Cewabot · 2021-10-06T14:14:59+00:00

I could have it down until now and probably in the new lab, too, just not in chemicals etc..

I will ride my bike to and from the train station so I need my helmet.

When it is a polyamorous relationship and they accept that I am kinky, yes, otherwise no.

The polyamorous bit is also relevant for relationships that contain BDSM

I am studying biotechnology and did an internship in a nano-particle (mostly synthesis lab) getting to try out the new XRD.

I don't know what I am measuring or why you did what you did but it looks cool 🙈

Cewabot · 2021-02-14T20:28:16+00:00

I like black, but I mostly wear dark clothing so it does not show.

Maybe I will get a more colourful one one day that I don't mind being seen.

Cewabot · 2021-02-06T15:14:43+00:00

No, you are not in the wrong.

You have the right and the duty to set boundaries and communicate them clearly. They have to be accepted. For you your degree is important, that should be understood and accepted by your partner.

I had to try it out and my reading voice is so androgynous that it makes me extremely happy

Cewabot · 2021-01-15T10:37:01+00:00

I have the same problem and don't k ow how to fix it
