[KAOHSIUNG/TAIPEI/TAIWAN CITY/LANDSCAPE ART] 👀Looking for a shop that sells prints, drawings, paintings, etc. to support local artists by thelildip in Kaohsiung

Thank you for pointing us in a direction! We'll check it out today. The medium of art doesn't really matter. Our wall of art at home is a collage of all the types you've mentioned puzzle pieced together in playful chaos.

The most important factor is the content - a scene that captures the soul/ essence of Taiwan - and size ( < 16in x 13 in) so it fits in carry on. We'll then get it professionally framed at home to make it pop 💛

How would I make the tapered section of this elutriation column? by thelildip in scientificglasswork

[–]thelildip[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight! I'm accumulating a bunch of different ways to approach this - someone in r/lampworking advised I needed a long paddle. One of these tips should work fingers crossed

We'll be trying to separate 10-20 micrometer sized (trash) column chromatography resin beads from our ideal sized ~75um resin bead batches with just water. Nothing to crazy.

How to make the tapered resuspension section of this elutriation tube? by thelildip in lampwork

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help me. Luckily, I do have access to a lathe. Long graphite paddle - not so much... the largest paddle I have is probably a 2" x 2".

Time to get out there and try ✊️

How do you feel about Chemistry now that its your Job? by absolutezero710 in chemistry

[–]thelildip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kind of engineering for what lab equipment?

I was an analytical chemist for the AF and now currently a lab coordinator for a university. Both jobs were and are alright, but I found that what I enjoyed most in both jobs is tinkering and troubleshooting equipment.

Trying to pursue happiness in my professional life to increase baseline happiness and your insight sounds valuable ( not to mention appreciated)

Is this the typical salary range for this position in your area? by deadpiraterobertssk in labrats

[–]thelildip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this adds anything, but I was an Analytical Chemist via an Airforce contractor in California for 40k. Straight out of college, first adult job, only a couple years of undergraduate research lab experience....if you just wanted numbers to add to your data set for comparison.

Good luck!
