I suppose I shouldn't be shocked at such an abuse of a worker by a person in a position of power, but I am. Equally by the other stories, I would personally consult an employment solicitor, because they could help you with a strategy that allows you to feel that you are in a more equal position. Asi...

Hello everybody!!

Where can I buy or source a copy of "The Laboratory" A Sience Reference & Preparation Manual?

Thanks Lita!!

This is the part that I love most about our job. Sodium is so much fun, and the nature of its unpredictability makes it even more interesting. Bigger chunks = bigger fun.

In a past life, I remember that we were limited to the amount of chemical that we could store.
Does anyone know of a document that tells you what the limit are for chemical storage? I have looked through CSIS online I can't find anything. Maybe I'm dreaming....

Wow! I'm pretty impressed by all of these responses. What amazing people you are!

Hello everybodee

Just wondering if any of you are doing something for science week and if there are any ideas that
you have that you could share?

Thanks

Surely the most logical solution would be to have stainless steel benches like in hospitality?
It seems they upgrade hospitality first then science, should have the same crew in, to install a similar setup.

Hello, I have tried to avoid the chemicals as much as possible during my pregnancy. I have been worried a lot. The baby doesnt like it when I turn on the fume cupboard, which I think is interesting. Not sure if its my stress levels that rise when I turn it on or what. I would like to have been aware...

Hi Sue

Hello!

Hi does anyone have a recipe for acidified potassium permanganate? I got a recipe off the WA lab technicians site but it seemed too strong, the recipe said you should still be able to see through the solution, I only wanted a small amount and reduced all the quantities and then added heaps of extra ...

We have recently purchased one vernier labquest. We already had two data harvest things. I am really impressed with the labquest so far. Just need to purchase more probes - so that will take time. I believe it is more user friendly as you can see your results before you head back to the lab or compu...

I have a polariser that the Physics people use, it is ancient and is a Bausch & Lomb variety. I have not seen any for sale in any catalogues. One of the lenses is cracked and I would like to replace it. Any hints ideas where I could source a replacement lens or purchase a new one if the first ta...

Hi

Has anyone needed to have power transformers repaired recently and know of a contact?

Hi!
Where are you sourcing your Sodium (Thodium) Thiosulphate from? Its not available fom Q stores.
It took 6 months to get an order from Silform for it and by then my senior had cancelled the order.
