Dear Colleagues,
I just posted a survey on this subject in LinkedIn.
I would love some feedback on LinkedIn or directly to this email.
Here is the body:
In wet 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝘀, electronic devices can introduce safety hazards, contamination pathways, and possible liability, yet they are often used for documentation and note-taking, capturing images of menisci, etc..
Curious how others are handling this balance in undergraduate labs. Freely add comments below.

The Survey Question is:
Are personal electronics allowed in freshman/sophomore chemistry labs, considering both safety and contamination risks?
Feel free to answer here directly with comments or on LinkedIn.
Thanks so much!
Warm regards,
