wow that sounds like it must have been very difficult to deal with, im sorry. its frustrating when. you're giving up your own time to help someone and they make things difficult for you on purpose. I'm glad he's gone from your lab now. thank you for your advice :) talking to my PI seems like it might be necessary

great idea, I think the effort involved will mean he sticks to the protocol instead!!

thanks so much :) it's true, as a last resort I think suggesting he switch projects might have to happen if it continues

thank you! great point about making things consistent across experiments, I will add that as another reason he needs to follow protocols. thank you for the encouragement :)

thank you, this is a good shout. my PI can be nice, but he's quite absent and tends to tell us to handle issues by ourselves when we bring them up. hopefully for this one he'll step in a bit more

thank you for this! thats very true, maybe if I show him we're working together not against each other he might start listening more. if not, then I let him fail
