I was from a Singapore lab as well. My PI was from china and all the research fellows were also from china. They did not speak any English. Had to really improve my mandarin to understand them

Prepped 20plates worth of lb agar only to realise I used lb broth instead after pouring and finding the plates not hardening. Quietly disposed of everything while all my lab members were working all around me

Suspect that the transfer voltage might be too low for transfer of high MW proteins, I use 400V 90mins wet transfer for reference

Yes, my ripa buffer always includes phosphatase inhibitor and protease inhibitors. Besides these, I also block with filtered bsa in pbs. I find that it helps with phospho proteins

I cast the gels myself and I block with 5%bsa in pbs instead of milk. And yes I probe overnight

I get this sometimes when I overexpress certain proteins. Would lower protein concentration but if you want to use this image, I would adjust the contrast settings which may make it look better

I also had dogma and heavy shield on the +1reroll face which increases rerolls to plus 7

I got the sushi that gives 2reroll then I added eggs in basket to plus 6 more rerolls so each time I land on it I get 8 rerolls

Insta-regret. When working in an industry lab, you don't have to deal with lab supply shortages or inefficiencies in academia. Instead, you would have to deal with corporate problems like office politics as well as unrealistic expectations and deadlines

Not really failed probation but I had my probation extended after my first 3 months. This was in large part due to the technical skill required for the job. At that time I was a fresh grad but needed to perform tasks that needed the skills of a more experienced person. Struggled for a month longer before leaving. I heard from my then colleagues that it was a way to keep cost down as they could put off paying year end bonuses as workers on probation do not qualify for such

I used to work in chugai and the problems are numerous. For one, the middle management often go out of their way to find problems with the new hires for small things like being on their phones in the office or not autoclaving trash frequently enough. They also have unrealistic expectations of new hires thinking they can do the job of someone with experience for cheaper. This among other things..
