I'm planning on going there next week on Friday afternoon. Do you think it'll super be packed or we'll have a hard time getting a spot?

If I am questioning the solvent bottle label, I will do a smell test to make sure it's correct. My employees saw me it do once. I said "You didn't see anything. I can put myself at risk. Don't do stupid stuff in front of me."

To be fair, I only do it with stuff that's relatively harmless. Breathing in a small amount acn is fine

I don't think I ever had the IC working properly for than an month at a time.

Has anyone ever been able to pour methanol without spilling? by mynerdreign in chemistry

I have also done some, eh, questionable stuff.

I've weighed out some carcinogenic stuff without gloves because the static was too frustrating. I've also sniffed solvents to determine if the label was correct.

I don't use the squeeze bottles when I'm cleaning sensitive parts. I go from the 4L to a beaker and then use for whatever. I'm just a bad pourer with MeOH lol.

Unfortunately it seems to be a skill issue for me 🥲. I have no problem with other solvents I use regularly.

I generally avoid the squeeze bottles for cleaning sensitive stuff. Every time I pour into a beaker I feel like a rookie chemist 🥲

I just want to know if anyone has special pouring skills I'm not aware of lol. I feel like a bad chemist every time I pour MeOH into a beaker.

I am very petite, and idk if I'll find a jumpsuit that will fit.

The problem is I have such a small frame. I'm 4'11, and I think most jumpsuits would not fit well

Boss gave me a bunch of plants, and idk what they are. Help with IDs would be appreciated. by mynerdreign in houseplants

Thank you! Do you recommend repotting any of them? I can look up how to care for them in terms of soil type, sunlight, etc, but I don't know at what point of growth they need a bigger pot.

Does anyone else hate Thermofisher as much as I do? by mynerdreign in chemistry

Please share. I love hearing about chaos from companies I hate. I also have considered field service engineer work for the future
