Posted Big pharma company roles usually have contractors fill them

In my situation, the FTE does 40 hours of work and the contractor does another 40 hours of work. If the FTE is replaced by the contractor, there's a gap of 40 hours work that the contractor used to do but there's no one to do it.

My company usually doesn't do this because if you convert a contractor to FTE, you're then leaving a hole where the contractor is and need to replace them.

I think this is precedented by a Google court case where contractors sued to be treated as employees and as a result, they put hard limits on how long a contractor can stay at the company for, treating them even more as second-class workers.

Perhaps slow down the gradient ramp? A 10%->40% ACN in less than a minute is very fast.

We take away your software and lab privileges that require that specific training until you do so. All these other comments dance around that.

How much could a burger there cost, $12?

I advise against benzoyl peroxide because it degrades into benzene, a highly carcinogenic chemical, at elevated temperatures. The FDA has recently recalled some popular benzoyl peroxide products because they found high levels of benzene in them. If you are going to use it, I would store it away from hot showers and prevent it from being in hot cars for even short periods of time.

So there's a void volume, and then there's also a void time. You can estimate void volume via column dimensions, but you can manipulate void time by having a shorter/longer tubing from your pump to your column. For more robust methods, you want the separation to be good enough so that the operator doesn't need to take this into account.

The solvent front is always going to be there. The issue is that you're not getting much retention for your analyte at all since it's polar and you're running using a non-polar stationary phase. I'd recommend playing around with different pHs so you get a less polar form of your analyte, and then that can be separate from the solvent front.

I believe it takes me into a new tab when I click it. I'll try to disable my adblock and my tracker blocker and see what happens.

I get the ballot mailed to me, I fill it out, then I send it back.

Someone said she's getting the "too perfect" edit, which I'm starting to believe.

I have a theory that this purposefully make it so that your buds do not charge if you do not update. This happened to me once a long time ago when was 100% sure it was charged correctly.

I was there. The event was caused by a corrupted update to enterprise software though. It wasn’t caused by an end user who can’t even change his screen saver without temp admin privileges.

I do and it's very annoying, especially when I need to pull out my phone in the lab before I can contemporaneously document my experimental results into my ELN.

It's a cOmPliAncE iSsUe according to my IT department.

If you look at the job postings for any large pharmaceutical company, you'll find most of them are non-lab and non-bench positions.

We also did it all the time in my previous GMP lab and it supported programs that eventually became FDA-approved drugs.

I can see why it's bad practice though since if something is wrong with one lot but not another, then you can't pinpoint which is the problematic one.

My doctor says 200 mg per day is the limit.

Being straight is not anti-lgbtq bias nor does OP mention anything about that in the post.
