If anyone knew that I mostly use Google for checking very basic maths I'm fairly sure they'd take away my degree (other search engines are available) #Google

I hope no one left mildly annoying buzzing experiments running over the weekend that they are expecting data from

This is based on a true story told to us by a friend of ErrantScience. It was a very VERY expensive experiment. 🚁

We’re not saying you can turn lab into a theme park but…

If you print it off and stick it on your experiment this flow diagram is very effective at protecting it while you get coffee

It’s important to know the right collective noun for various people working in research and science

The hours between lunch and the start of a holiday are significantly longer than any other hours

The trick to any lab reorganisation is to just do the opposite of whatever you did last time
