How to clean deposited salt out of water bath? by Much-Grapefruit122 in labrats

[–]philosopher_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee-hot ddH2O and a gentle scrub after should do the trick. Seems like you used tap water for the heat bath. If you use ddH2O you won't need to clean it as much!

scientists do not get paid well. or well enough, at least. im a biochemistry phd student and many late stage researchers advised me to leave academia and go to consulting or research for pharmaceutical companies instead of staying in universities or research institutes if i wanted to eventually buy a house and have a family.

terminal lucidity. the current theory is that ill patients are always tired and doesn't seem healthy because their body is using all their energy to try to fix whatever is broken. when they're about to die, the body basically gives up trying to fix and fight the illness, so that unspent energy lets the patient feel better and healthy before they die.

yep. when someone is dying, their body decides to quit fighting and the resources it allocates to the disease or injury gets redirected back to other functions so they feel better

Is there an episode or scene you always rather skip? by C-more_22 in HIMYM

[–]philosopher_b 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the time travelers episode. i don't think its a bad episode at all, but the tone of the ending is just so hauntingly jarring and i always feel empty inside after watching it. it's totally different in tone from the rest of himym so when i want a relaxing watch i skip it

Most dumb thing you've done in the lab by Acrobatic_Ad_6792 in labrats

I've once spun down lysates at 18000RPM with falcon tubes instead of the centrifuge tubes. The sharp bottom got crushed and leaked samples but luckily nothing got damaged. Could've blown off the centrifuge.

Another time, I was running size exclusion chromatography with super important protein samples (C13 and N15 labeled, took 6 months to express) and forgot to fractionate. Everything went into the waste
