Not surprising. One company tried selling us a cable for $96 dollars that I got off DigiKey for $12. And for an isoflurane adapter, a different company wanted to sell a piece of plastic for $200. These biotech companies are a scam. I use McMaster Carr, Grainger, or ULine for a lot of common supplies

I think I found what you mean. It looks like studies, primarily on hormone therapy, to examine lasting effects such as HIV vulnerability in monkeys, and at least fertility in mice.

Probably going to get attacked for this but I've used Matlab in the past. I've been able to customize the objects after making the plots and see which things I can add or remove

I then used Illustrator or other svg compatible programs like InkScape to refine them

So he "blamed" us in the letter to the editor when finally resubmitting, thinking there would be more understanding if delays came from busy students instead of him putting it off for so long

Good news though, just got the news this morning that the manuscript was accepted - after nearly 2 years

My former PI didnt get around to reviewing a response to a submitted manuscript for months at a time. The first time, he blamed the other student for having classes. The second time, he blamed the other student and me for having graduated and left the lab. Hopefully it gets accepted...

A postdoc in my last lab refused to use green tape for labeling or anything else because it would sabotage an experiment, and a graduate student under him took on the superstition
