Re: Chemical Management Handbook

I have printed and bound a copy and can't wait for it to be complete ! A great up to date resource that has current information. Is there a plan to complete it now Science Assist is not funded?

Re: Lab Coats Vs Aprons

When doing pracs all students wear lab coats 7 -12. When junior students visit they also wear them.
I wash them each term and after dissections or if I notice they are stained, in my spare time :cheesy:
