Guess

who has an interview with Quest Diagnostics in Cambridge on Tuesday?

Hint: They don't hire lungfishes.

Lab Safety

Aside from her habit of spilling chemicals all over the place, I hadn't noticed anything particularly hazardous about the Chinese post-doc's (let's call her "Linda") behavior lately.

Today I noticed a very strong gas smell. She had turned on the gas supply to a bunsen burner and walked away for a few minutes. I made a comment about how it wasn't a big deal, because at worst, she would have just blown up the lab and set us all on fire. I hope my message crossed the culture barrier.
