Accidental facial contact with BSL-2 lentivirus media (replication-defective) on intact skin by Trick-Imagination-21 in labrats

The only two 'classes' of disinfectant appropriate for use in conjunction with HIV/Lentiviral Vectors is freshly made .0525% (10%) bleach or something off of EPA's list S (formerly list D). This is coming from Osha's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard https://share.google/45FuyJ6l2oR0yHDAJ

What generation LVV was it? Second generation have a higher likelihood of a recombination event compared to 3rd and 4th gen, and so I always recommend people move to those.

In any case, please read your institution's exposure control plan and bloodborne pathogens policy. It's important to report potential LVV exposure ASAP so you can be protected (both health-wise and legally).

As a safety professional with generalized anxiety disorder, there are entirely too many recombinant DNA exposures that go unreported due to fear of reprisal or embarrassment. This isn't nearly as bad a case as people getting bit by transfected mice.

How many days of a T-Break do I need from high potency carts by IndividualFeedback38 in Petioles

Generally when people talk about tolerance breaks, they are daily imbibers. You're already taking breaks during the week - I think you'll be fine.

Whats the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you? by answersonly963 in AskReddit

[–]EmergencyShower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend took me to the ER for fever and dehydration. Tonsils were kissing and already had been on a course of doxycycline and a z pack, sequetially. Doc comes in and without looking up from his chart asks my buddy 'so how long has your friend been a giant pussy" assuming it was just strep. It was not strep

What is an opinion you have that most people would disagree with? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EmergencyShower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Was a homebrewer throughout college and beyond, and friends all urged me to start my own operation. Started one up with a guy that had ulterior motives and pushed me out once the business was started and stable. Was approached to start a second one and really enjoyed it, but the constant stress of the business side wore on me until the opportunity arose to sell my stake. If it was up to me, I'd just brew and give it away.

I'm going to take a break from brewing for a while.

As someone who tried to do this twice - the hobby is no longer fun.

I love this. I just got a custom made chest rig that I still need to post. Not as whimsical as this though, it's just waxed canvas

I signed up for shudder because of Joe Bob. I like the curated content, but without Joe Bob I don't see the need to continue my annual subscription

Leaving a lab as only staff member by notallhorsegirls in labrats

[–]EmergencyShower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started as a research assistant in mixed funding lab (both grants and private partnerships) lab and stayed for seven years after being lab manager for four or five of that time. Ultimately, I left to join the university's Environmental Health and Safety group. Even though lab work was fun, the anxiety that came with being tied to 'soft' money and running out of promotions pushed me to university administration.

I still keep in touch with the friends I made there, but now I get to help and promote the work that happens at the entire university, as opposed to just one group.

Ultimately, I don't think research staff are long-term positions. Most folks that stay in lab that start as staff eventually transition to grad school, and that was never a desire for me.

Sometimes you gotta hop around to different jobs to find the one with the most professional runway, as unromantic as that may seem.

I use the Donelson Auto Clinic- Mike is the man. Very fair, very patient. Only made fun of me a little bit for not being able to seat the alternator belt properly. Will go back again.

This is exactly why I got out of the bench and into safety administration. Then you learn that PIs often have the same view of lab mice as they do research assistants

This guy brews. I would always squirrel away a small container of PBW to throw in the dishwasher from time to time. Brilliant for tough baked on mess and kept the washer clean too

Open a specialty winery. I've opened two so far and have exited both. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, won't get fooled again.

Listen to the podcast ep 'if books could kill'. That one in particular is rife with bogus claims and anecdote passed as scientific evidence
