Awards GALORE for the department this year! Massive congratulations to our Faculty of Science and Technology award winners and to all those nominated 🎉 We are very lucky to have such incredible staff @LancsUniSciTech

@Andrestrujado I enjoy doing the bouncy ball across the temperature range (room temp to liq N2). Room temp very bouncy little noise , liquid nitrogen, metallic sound and does bounce may shatter if your very forceful. Dry ice temp no bounce!

@LaurenceSHall1 I always thought this would be one hiccup away from disaster ...

@annajkirkham Looks like you need to up the {starch} .. to get a definitive black colour

@RSC_EiC @DrAllan12 I enjoy the superglue fingerprint residue demo.

@Caroline_Bartma waiting for someone to write .."my products on my shoe blues"

@UncleBo80053383 @CLEAPSS @RSC_EiC @SciInSchool @ChemEdX I should add I place these in each of the fume hoods to enable students to do weighing of reagents (ca 1-5g) without waiting for a free balance. This is true time saver, however they do share the space with the odd incontinent acetone bottles. So not always the students fault😀

@UncleBo80053383 @CLEAPSS @RSC_EiC @SciInSchool @ChemEdX One thing I have found is they are not very solvent resistant and I tend to go for the £15 ones now after melting a few in organic synthesis. absolutely fine for Aq systems.

@Andrestrujado Did you get chance to say " it Lives !! "

[John Baum @BaumV]

@JGHardyLab I could be tears ...... of joy

[John Baum @BaumV]

@chembameditor i find it of great benifit to the training of technicians supporting teaching. Great for confidence and development of the technician as a demonstrator in undergraduate teaching lab. It is fun and something they own.

@dbrahmchari PowerPoint for all poster .. hope that helps

@testtuberevise that is the idea " a Really useful box" courier sans solvent or pickup/ in-house delivery for local schools.

[John Baum @BaumV]

@DrKevinMorgan I think the demonstration could work, have done it on a larger 20 mL syringe column with 200 mg sample. You could get the students to do TLC analysis and demo the column, and distribute fractions.
