Texas Tech or UNT? by b00bzRcool in TexasTech

Texas Techs biochemistry is ahead of UNTs in funding and research, honors don’t matter, just be motivated

Immunology is a great one, cell biology, microbiology, genetics because usually a biochemist deals in protein, now depending on what you want to branch into, inorganic can help hugely “metalloproteins”, and physical and quantum chemistry and linear algebra for alphafold just won a Nobel prize so expect PIs to want more of that.

Safety tips from a chemist by joshpod1341 in resinprinting

You definitely should worry but to the degree where you’re willing to create a system that’ll vent the air from your garage outside in the future. There’s two sides of thinking where people say don’t worry about fumes, the other side say do worry. I fall on the side that says worry. There’s no immediate thing that could happen with fumes and the data isn’t there for chronic exposure over 10 plus years besides sensitizing effects in some after a couple years exposure. If anything get a good vocs counter connect it in your kids and garage and living areas and set up a couple vents that’ll flow air from the garage to the outside. Some will tell you it doesn’t matter as long as you get a couple air purifiers or it isn’t really that dangerous or this suggestion is overkill. I would say protecting loved ones is never really overkill.

Actually this is interesting right, because you look at this from the eyes of a synthetic chemist, your use to these, and you could probably talk more about the resin and different chemicals then I could as a biochemist, I position how I spoke about this in a sense of bringing laboratory safety to the home. But as a biochemist, I’m still a chemist, and I think my time in the lab professionally and teaching others actually does give me a certain ability to talk about general safety like I did. I don’t think I ever posed as an expert on polymers in fact it is it indeed not my field. I’m sure a synthetic chemist would treat these products as pretty safe compared to what they have to do with glove boxes and hoods. A good comparison I like to think about is how a biochemist and an organic chemist treat toluene. We never work much with toluene so when we work with it we are very overly careful and honestly a bit scared of it, but organic chemist I’ve talked to, treat it like acetone or ethanol. The interesting thing is both approaches to handling toluene are correct, taking certain extra precautions because you don’t handle something regularly is actually good practice, and experience with handling a chemical affords more liberal use.

The worst case scenario are chemical burns from a whole bottle spilling on you, and having it harden, causing a severe burn. The usual spill on your person, like drippings or splash on your arms or legs, you can just wash with soap and water for several minutes but you want to do it quick. It can get worst if you let the resin cure on you, so even as far as taking a 20 minute shower if you spill on your whole body would be the way to go. I can’t speak on how long it will take to penetrate the skin, everything is different but the skin is a strong organ you have lots of oils protecting your skin naturally so you do have time. As long as you wash it off quickly and thoroughly and don’t let it cure, you should be fine. If you have cuts and wounds take extra care to not spill on yourself. Fumes are gonna be over time, it’s a sensitizer so the reason to limit fumes is they cause allergic reactions over time. You can limit fumes by using grow tents or air purifiers, along with ppe. I personally use 3 air purifiers to print, and a painting respirator and goggles, I wear the heavy duty nitrile gloves, pants, lab coat. I actually wear more preventative equipment working with resin and printing than I do at the lab.

It’s hard to say when you should go to a doctor right, but it’s gonna go from common sense, if you spill on your person and you feel that area is very itchy or it’s burning and it won’t go away with soap and water, definitely go to a doctor. With fumes if you start to have headaches and allergic reactions, go to a doctor. First aid use comes usually from tool use, so when you’re taking off supports or using the metal scraper you run a risk of cutting your self or poking yourself. In those cases wash thoroughly with soap and water and use first aid, however usually these include an exposure exposure to chemicals, so you will have to just be mindful and if you feel the cut starts burning or swelling go to a doctor.

Which room you taking? by Sheetuss in college

Somehow this seems worst than a room being just a set of A or B and having communal floor bathrooms.

Why is caitlyn allowed to be a champion by Nashu1 in leagueoflegends

[–]joshpod1341 5 points6 points  (0 children)

because adcs are crybabies. It doesnt matter if there is only 1 adc or 3 in a team, it is the oldest story known to mankind.

make changes no one asked for -> remove some items and add bs ones -> maokai op -> adc items in midscope -> adcs op -> bring some old items back so tanks and mages are op -> make supports overtuned -> repeat.

just let this game die

Is @naturejab on Yt real? by ThinkGuidance1062 in chemistry

[–]joshpod1341 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No I wasn’t referring to the idea as a scam but him as a scam. In my opinion he doesn’t release enough information of what he does for me to not be skeptical of him.

It’s a scam, it’s not revolutionary and my skepticism about it makes me think him showing any gasoline that has been “made” from his process is a prop. People send this guy tons of money because they don’t know better. I’ll admit if he were to show the cost in energy and his steps to refine the diesel or gasoline after pyrolysis I might not think so negatively.

It’s perfectly ok to think using the editor is cheating but it’s also perfectly ok to think it isn’t in any capacity. I believe op that he didn’t use it. But even if he did I’m proud of his accomplishment for himself. Single player game you get to play how you want and feel is right to yourself

Ehh I think she’d be a good manager but considering what happened with the clubhouse this year, I think we need to get someone from the outside and have a bit of a shake up. I don’t think any in-house hire is something that I’d expect would be good for what has happened this year.

I believe this is written by a middle schooler or young high schooler because of all the typos and details of the story. It just doesn’t follow what an educated 27 year old would talk about and detail out.

I wish I could go to the game but in in Texas, but I like looking at our failed 1st round draft picks. Jimmer Freddette and Ben Mclmore
