Have loved playing with this new chromatography kit from RLC Labs this week. It is designed so well and is calibrated so that 1.25mls of solvent will run and stop before the solvent front reaches the top of the paper! Ideal for a teacher demo π

@asda_mobile I'm unable to checkout on your website. Want to order a Sim contract but every time I go to checkout I get the 'Oops Something went wrong message'. Please can this be fixed! ππ»

Narrowing down my travel plans for New Zealand 2027! Hate all the logistics (and the cost) but can't wait until it's done so I can start looking at the fun stuff!

Are we technicians hoarders or just resourceful? Someone was trying to give away an 'obsolete' CD rack to save it from waste - I gladly repressed into a drying rack for tiles!

I am presenting at @theASE Technician Conference on 3rd July in Bristol!
If anyone is interested in Science Outreach, come along and see some practical ideas that can be taken beyond the lab to schools and community groups (I currently work between the ages of 4-11).

Just thought of a new branded freebie I would quite like if there are any takers....
Doorstops!
Would be lovely to have 'Technician Use Only' printed on them.
All my doorstops are breaking and/or stolen/'borrowed'.
@Philip_HarrisUK @BrecklandSci @Preproom Just sharing ideas

Any other technicians working inside a trust and use a Microsoft Teams channel to collaborate across the trust? Would love to hear your insights, pros and cons please! ππ»

I walked around @nationaltrust Basildon Park on Sunday and took my camera out for the first time in ages. It was glorious just taking time in nature. After a while standing still listening to some rustling leaves, I was rewarded with the sight of this gorgeous creature π

Anyone have any actually helpful tips for burnout?
I am feeling so tense, stressed out and overwhelmed. It's making me unsympathetic and angry (tears aren't too far away).
I can't stop any of the things I'm doing. A restful day/afternoon helps in the moment but doesn't last...

Happy British Science Week and #Techognition Day!
I love that I get to run outreach as part of my job. Today we hosted our BSW Competition winners, who asked the question 'Can you make an indestructible bubble?'. We certainly tried!

Thank you @TECHOGNITIONUK
Sorry for the very delayed acknowledgement... the busy life of a lone tech π
