@QuantumTessera @Popher And Drosophila mutations... Cockeye. Genitalia instead of eyes

@Popher It's ~£1 a month.....

@Popher @MidwestChemSafe eBay has loads for ~£10, USA eBay will have equivalent. Well worth having in the glove box.

@Popher Might still suspect the battery... When the battery is low, all sorts stop working.

@Popher Have you tested battery to confirm it's good. When running, what voltage do you get across the battery? Will confirm if alternator is working. With everything off, disconnect one terminal of battery and measure current between battery and battery cable.

We are hiring a PDRA in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry! There's still time to apply before the closing date on Sunday. Find out more here: zurl.co/62P4

We're hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry! Find out more about the role and apply here: zurl.co/TP0s

Applications for next years #PhD student cohort are now open. You can read more about our PhD programme and how to apply on our website: zurl.co/bAkv

meanwhile in #Florida I can't make it but there will be a "Golden Anniversary Symposium of FT-ICR MS in honor of Prof. Dr. Alan G. Marshall" on 3 NOV 2023 chem.fsu.edu/ft-icr-mass-sp…

@Popher Those are some weird looking butteries...

Multiple fully funded PhD positions are available to join our team @StAndrewsChem to work in the areas of homogenous catalysis, renewable polymers, plastic recycling and CO2 utilisation. Check here for more details 👉 tinyurl.com/y222ta4b

@UCDProteomics Search each spectrum against seaQuest using command line....

Am I the only one who has nostalgia for the old days when you can take a gel spot , take all day to identify, not even quantify, 1-2 proteins on a LCQ and go home and feel incredibly accomplished? Sometimes I do miss those days...

@LabShevchenko @InterchimAdvion How on earth did you kill a nanomate? They are the most reliable instruments we have it the lab. One has been running daily for over 15 years without failing. @AdvionInterchim

Our @InterchimAdvion automated ion source gave up the ghost today. Is it still a coincident or already #Fridaythe13th influence?...🤔 We urgently need a grant to study this widely spread phenomenon.😉 #AcademicChatter #massspec #instrumentals #phdlife

@Popher You don't want to see my garage/workshop vs house area..

@Popher Looks like areas of hydrophobicity being pushed out.

@GEEEJAYELL Just needs an ICR to make it complete.

Deffo a cool 2D chrom (GC and LC), MS, and IMS lab.

@Popher I believe we have a dinner date in 22h.

@goldclusters Let me guess, there is an muddy field down the road for the technical grades.

@nmr900 Completely agree, there are many possible explanations, but it's frustrating that we have a recovery system but are venting to atmosphere because we can't get empty cylinders.

@Ed_MassSpec or they may be unable to liquify due to electricity shortages / allocations to industry ? either way, crazy times, good luck to us all🤞

$39/liter 😭

@pedromiguel13 @MichaelisNMR @nmr900 We recover boil-off from the NMR's and ICR's and return to BOC in multi-cylinder pallets. However, BOC are currently unable to supply the empty cylinders. The rumor is that BOC are hoarding helium in pallets and both pushing up the price and waiting to sell. I hope it's not true

@MichaelisNMR @nmr900 need a Canada wide push to get CFI/NSERC/CIHR fund helium recovery for chemistry, biochemistry depts. we need at min local capture and 1st stage compression (to gas in cylinders) with regional liquefaction centres (at one uni or with supplier). In some cases local gas to liquid
