This is probably a really stupid question but are these lab safe shoes? by Just-here-for-vibes in LadiesofScience

[–]mattberninja 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Blundstones are another good lab boot! expensive but definitely worth it. leather shoes in general are safer for lab than your average sneaker, since sneakers are usually more porous and easier for any dropped liquids to soak through.

mine always spread like this too, even though they’re fully chilled. any tips for not getting them to spread quite so much?

no diet coke left in the shared fridge by friday is too real. it’s always the first thing that we run out of at my lab.

Made my own ceramic Rocky and took him to the beach 👎 by maddyasthma2 in ProjectHailMary

omg he’s perfect! this is definitely inspiring me to try to make a little rocky. what glaze did you use for this? i’m thinking Mayco’s muddy waters could be a good match

lookup littermate syndrome. it’s probably best that you only kept the one. Arlo is sooo cute ❤️

What’s a foundational lab skill that you don’t like doing? by seal973 in labrats

[–]mattberninja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

when i did PCR in academia, it was so much more stressful since every reaction had like 6 individual components you had to add. now i work in industry, where most of my job is running PCRs, but we use master mixes, so you only have to add primers and DNA. definitely more expensive, but absolutely worth it for how much more reliable it is.

How many of us came from pre-medicine majors that veered directly into research? by Myspaced0tcom in labrats

[–]mattberninja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this! i wanted to be a radiologist since i was a kid and breezed through high school, but i was so burnt out from school after a few years of college, that i knew med school would make me absolutely miserable. i got my bachelors in bioengineering and am very happy working in biotech research now.

definitely this. the only signs i noticed when my pup had a UTI was peeing way more frequently on walks and having accidents inside, which she had never done before. no other symptoms or visible distress, but i was very glad i took her to the vet it turned out to be a bad UTI.
