Hi group,

I have 2 questions for those working in academic laboratories.

1.       Have you ever experienced any situations where an overnight reaction form

has been precious for the emergency response ?

2.       Another common practice in academic research and even more at risk, is working alone in the laboratory.

Even if it is strongly discouraged, it is part of the academic culture. I am trying to implement a new system

with removable stickers to at least inform people outside the lab (security, etc…) that someone is running

experience alone in the lab. So I would like to receive some feedbacks, sharing experience on how

people manage this situation.

Thanks for any help on this.

Have a good day
