  1. Lab Report #3887: This ball head didn’t budge, even after Sarah slammed the lab door. Held the heavy monitor perfectly. Greg’s actually impressed—a rare win for €8.27 (was €18.37). Solid build for the price.

  3. #Methoden
    „mix well“, „mix a few times“, „pipet 3 times up and down“ – vage Angaben in Protokollen stehen der #Reproduzierbarkeit von Ergebnissen im Weg. Bioingenieur Michael King von der Rice University hat nun ein #Mischungsmodell entwickelt, das eine exakte Beschreibung des Mischvorgangs verspricht. Doch ist dieses – teils mit ChatGPT entwickelte – Modell den Laborrealitäten gewachsen? Andrea Pitzschke hat ihre Zweifel: laborjournal.de/editorials/343

  4. Expedition 501 has transitioned from sea to shore. With 718 sediment cores recovered, nearly 873 m of core material, and >50,000 L of fluids, the science teams are now focused on sampling and analysis at MARUM. 🧪📊 Latest Blog:

  5. #Methode
    Seit Jahrzehnten färben EM-Labore ihre Präparate mit hochgiftigem, radioaktivem Uranylacetat. Ein Team vom vom Zentrum für Elektronenmikroskopie der #tugraz hat nun gezeigt: Kaffee-Extrakt bzw. Chlorogensäure können den Kontrast genauso gut steigern – und das „grün“, billig und reproduzierbar.

  6. Our digital Christmas tree this year is built from squares inspired by performance indicators in our ONT sequencing experiments 🎄📊
    In 2025, sequencing output increased substantially — a great way to close the year!

  7. #Methode: Effizientes Klonieren? Eine Frage der Koordination! Das Open-Source-Tool #CloneCoordinate, entwickelt vom Team um Ben Thuronyi (USA), ist eine Open-Source-Softweare für kollaborative DNA-Konstruktion. Mehr im Laborjournalartikel von Andrea Pitzschke: laborjournal.de/editorials/338

  8. Lab Report #7311: Q84C rope snapped at handle during max speed test. Handle's kinda slick too. Sarah faceplanted. 🤣 BUT... for $8.21 (was $11.24)? Maybe worth it for casual skipping. 🤔 #LabLife #FitnessFail #JumpRope #DealAlert

  9. Does anyone else in #science really dislike osf.io these days?

    It is prettier, but always slow as molasses, and it seems like it is harder to use. It used to be plainer, but super quick! I will refrain from judging ease of use, but as a user from the before times I do not find it easier. At all.

    Yes, this seems to fall under #enshittification. smh

  10. We're gathering insights on how basic scientists think about public engagement, what barriers they face, & what kind of support would make it easier.

    👉 Take a few minutes to share your thoughts before 3 Aug: airtable.com/appIOiMGYFhFYFqip

  11. It's #Summerween season and of course PuckerLab couldn't resist! 👻🍉
    We enjoyed a nice evening with some ghost cookies, scary watermelons, and vampire donuts!

    Curious about how they're made or just want to be part of this? pbb.uni-bonn.de

  12. I heard peals of laughter spilling out of the lab Friday afternoon. The students were really enjoying getting soap bubbles to fill with mist from subliming dry ice, left over from the -78 bath for the Swern. I love that they are already having so much fun together. That’s already a huge win for me as a mentor. #proflife #PUI #chemistry #research #lablife #SummerScience

  13. 🧠 Are you a basic scientist with 12 minutes to spare?
    This is your final reminder to take our survey on public engagement.
    The survey is closing soon on 8 June. Make your voice heard!

  15. Public engagement isn’t just for extroverts or science communicators.
    It’s for all of us. We want to know what would make it feel more possible to help shape future tools and support for scientists like you.

    If you’re a basic scientist, we’d love to hear your perspective in this short survey open until 8 June:

  16. Hey basic scientists!
    🚨 We need your help.

  17. Welcome to the Science Dept.
    This is where we question everything, test our theories, and occasionally blow stuff up (in a controlled environment, of course).

  18. I cannot explain quite how comforting it is to hear the nitrogen boiling from the traps in the Schlenk line while I watch boiling solvent being stripped from a reaction. Just feels like all is right with the world for a moment when endothermic and exothermic processes occur just as they should. In related news, made sooooo much catalyst today. #lablife #chemistry #chemiverse #pui #proflife

  19. Has anyone ever tried using silicone brake lubricant like Sil-Glyde in place of Dow Corning High Vacuum Grease? It's about 1/4 the cost. #chemistry #chemiverse #Schlenk #proflife #lablife #vacuum #budget

  20. Does anyone on here have any experience with #refinishing #science #lab benches? Most are #epoxy #resin (very flat and smooth, softer) but some are #phenol (slight textured, harder & lighter). Flinn sells an epoxy product, but I have no idea if it’s any good. Please boost for visibility! #lablife #proflife #chemistry #biology #research #chemiverse
