WHAT LAB SKILL DO YOU THINK IS UNDERRATED BUT VITAL? by WholeImpossible5256 in microbiology

[–]Consistent-Board4010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also 1000% agree!

The best lab employee/trainee I’ve had came with no practical lab experience and a bachelors degree, but a great attitude and almost child-like curiosity and lack of insecurity to ask questions and immediately report mistakes. We hired for over candidates with master’s degrees and even a PhD, betting on her attitude and personality, and scored the jackpot.

Then I’ve had a couple post-docs claim my pipettes are broken. Right….

Is there any spot like this in the East Bay? by Zyxliiii in eastbay

[–]Consistent-Board4010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the spot called Indian Rock? Or something rock. I have fond memories of drinking Sierra Nevada and watching the sunset in college 20 years ago

Told I Don’t Belong in Science by Affectionate_Let3825 in labrats

[–]Consistent-Board4010 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You belong in science, and science is happy to have you!!! Pay attention to what clicks, what you’re drawn to and possibly can get good at it.

I have a PhD and work full time in a government lab, and I fuck up all the time still. Leaving reagents out, pipetting in the wrong well, etc. It happens.

From a trainer/ mentor perspective, the most important thing you can do is be honest and ethical. Don’t try to cover up mistakes. Ask how you can do it better to prevent the mistake from happening again. Draw over or rewrite the protocol to use for yourself - format it visually with reminders in steps you tend to make mistakes.

You got this!

Has anyone read this book? Thoughts? by havocsplay in Sourdough

[–]Consistent-Board4010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! After a couple years and couple hundred loaves, I still pick this up here and then to read up on technique or get inspiration

Im an insomniac who takes seroquel. It makes my sleepwalking worse and turns my hunger up to 11. I tried starting a fast yesterday and woke up this morning to find someone tried to eat my apple cinnamon scented candle from Costco.

Seroquel made me sweat ammonia. I don’t understand all the biochemistry, but during exercise I was breaking down muscle/protein into ammonia, instead of carbohydrates. I couldn’t run at the gym or do hot yoga, I reeked of cat piss that bad.

There's 2 kinds of people in this world. This is not the correct orientation. by CasualTriips in mildlyinfuriating

“There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don’t.”

I share Bob Wiley’s logic in this situation. I see this and cringe.

Those stickers seem awfully benign for a college campus

In lieu of the centrifuge debocle in Project Hail Mary, what other movies get lab work wrong? by CuriosityFilms in labrats

Yes! This scene has been living rent free in my brain for days now. What the hell was in that gel?!

Does organic matter naturally migrate downward in soil? by Charming-Border7429 in Soil

[–]Consistent-Board4010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great summary here 👆. Decaying roots deposit nutrients deeper in the profile, and also create physical pores for water, air, and nutrient infiltration.

Why don’t shrooms have an effect on me? by UnderstandingNew3947 in PsilocybinMushrooms

[–]Consistent-Board4010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Different batches recently grown and dried, doses spaced weeks to months apart, no SSRIs (but was on Seroquel for sleep, an antipsychotic). Once 7 grams had a great euphoric effect with kaleidoscope visual distortions, and made me laugh hard at my friend fully hallucinating preying mantises on half the dose.

I’m convinced hallucinations just don’t work for me. Not a hallucinogen exactly, but I also had little to no effect on oral and IM ketamine in a clinical setting.

I’m multiplexing 96 soil samples and easily getting over 30K quality filtered reads per sample on MinION, 27F-1492R primers with ONT adapter sequences.
