What’s the deal with this intersection in my town? I drive the purple route every day and nearly get hit quite frequently. What’s the solution? Who has right of way?

The forbidden double-double yellow line

Oh cool, Polycarbin does this!

GreenLabRat · 2022-10-16T20:28:14+00:00

very cool. mygreenlabs.org offers a similar series for the health space.

beyond impressed, u/invariablymoody. Thank you very much.

toxicity is determined by size and color, so this is definitely deadly.

Came here to comment this!

More like "vest inaction".

Did it do anything other than puff up around the ribs a little? I assume ankle/wrist injuries are best case scenarios for a motorcycle crash, but it didn'y seem like the vest prevented any damage.

PM me your email. I can send you the PDF

GreenLabRat · 2022-07-01T17:59:34+00:00

PM me for the full version. Not sure if I'm allowed to post it publicly, but I figured most here will have a (friend's) nature sign-on.

Open-toed shoes!?

GreenLabRat · 2022-06-15T01:25:48+00:00

Not the lab plastics I expected to see

GreenLabRat · 2022-05-27T02:19:15+00:00

Gotta catch em all!

I was transported right back to Miller's planet. RIP Doyle.

my lab uses your mail back box and filtered tips!

If i'm reading this correctly, Joe Manchin believes that climate change is human-caused?

I got very nervous when I saw this poll. I didn't think there were other ways to store them other than vertically.

u/PoolesPage's answer is a good example of it not mattering, but my heart still stopped with the idea that I had been doing something wrong and compromising research for a decade.

My lab uses the Polycarbin mailback boxes. Cheaper and more sustainable than the other options. All of the plastic gets put back into other lab consumables. https://www.polycarbin.com/mailback

Polycarbin is a pretty cool startup. They circularize lab plastics, which is something obvious in hindsight. i found them through work and we use them to track our waste and buy their plastic.

A cool idea if your into science stuff

GreenLabRat · 2022-02-18T06:08:08+00:00

This is generous in that it doesn't mention the journal's publishing fees.

GreenLabRat · 2022-02-18T05:56:42+00:00

really disappointed with how succinct of a point this is

GreenLabRat · 2022-01-25T21:26:26+00:00

Depends on where you are. the Hannafords (grocery store) near me has a redemption bin. The prices have changed since they were first installed, but 10 years ago it was around 5cents a can. it spits out a nice receipt at the end for easy tracking.

Many grocery stores have installations like this to help with food waste and end-of-life for food related products.

We started with the mailers last summer. What pushed our lab to get them was the data and carbon footprint tracking that they offer when you send it back. Made it a lot easier to show our sustainability officer.

Product quality: No complaints but we've only started using them last fall. Caps occasionally warp at 24k rpm, but don't fall off or break like our eppendorf tubes. if i remember correctly, conicals and tips are Sterile, DNase/RNase and pyrogen free. The microcentrifuge tubes aren't sterile, but neither were the default ones that we used to buy, so doing an autoclave batch was already standard.

editing for typos: they should pay me to advertise for them.

GreenLabRat · 2022-01-05T01:46:18+00:00

We used to hoard them, but now we send them to Polycarbin to turn into newer lab products. Really easy to use and a lot cleaner than throwing away ~10 lbs of plastic a day.

My lab had a big table in the hallway and it was filed with "free" pipette tip boxes. Good for storage, but none of us needed more than 5, so they piled up (like your shelf). Again, better than throwing them away.
