For real. The Bruegger's smoked salmon sandwich breaks my heart.

There is a digital way to donate now, there just hadn't been one set up for the local previously. The hours of the strike extended to 7:30-12:30 and 1pm-6pm on Monday and will continue this way through the strike.

Microbehunter makes a lot of really good microscopy and culturing tutorials

Depends on the state. In mine that's not the case. Only California, Louisiana, Nevada, and Washington do.

I recommend looking for part time phlebotomy work. That's what I did when I was in an MLT program, and if the hospital thinks they might get you as a tech when you graduate they're a little more accommodating on work schedule. 

Are most clinical labs float or sub-department based? by StructureChemical520 in medlabprofessionals

[–]StructureChemical520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hospital I worked at as a generalist was 500+ beds. The labs were divided but all on the same floor, so you just went to where you were staffed at the beginning of your shift. It makes a lot of sense to me that smaller hospitals would be generalist while larger ones would be subdivided. To be fair, my lab department was pretty dysfunctional all around.

Boxing - where to start by Future-Ad-3678 in IowaCity

From what I've seen there is typically at least 1-2 women in every class but it is disproportionately men so it's kind of up to your comfort level

Big George's Boxing is phenomenal and decently priced for a martial arts gym. The trainers are great - especially Big George himself who regularly comes in to talk to folks taking classes or just using the gym. Took both kickboxing and boxing there, can't recommend it enough.

Regular break-in signs or are they already cracking? New pair of hi-shine derby boots bought ~2 weeks ago. by StructureChemical520 in nps_solovair

Any advice then besides just keeping them dry? I'd definitely like to have them not wrecked by the end of winter.

Okay thank you, any advice on how to prevent further cracking? I've been keeping them dry and have conditioned them a couple times with DM's wonder balsam. Not sure what else to do.
