I thought the IRS was horrible with small font until the GHS labels appeared.

I bring this up as a concern at every vendor show and on every survey emailed to me to ask me how my experience purchasing was. Eventually they might get the hint - but even the surveys have small print.

It is nice to know I have some company. Yes the magnifying glass helps but the students keep moving it. Now I just ask a student to read everything to me instead.

Dear Colleagues,

I am wondering about the newest size of font used on purchased reagent bottles.
There are some chemicals that I would prefer to have a 12 inch distance between my eyes and the bottle.
I think of this as a safety problem. Is it?
