@SteveCurryMD Great article! I feel the need to do an experiment with a bag of potatoes and the LC-QTOF in the lab.

@njrijs My favourite was a “Work-life balance” webpage from a previous employer that just linked to the Uni gym webpage

@timscottly If I heard it right I think we are substituting the phrase “NPS” with “unicorn”? I look forward to the next Unicorn-update ToxPOD episode! @bobsmedog

@debbiesilvester @njrijs To be honest I was surprised. I had only heard of one other positive with these.

[David Brown @dhbrownau]

@debbiesilvester @njrijs My lollipop one went positive before the control.

@polhchem My dad’s hobby was pottery. I love the range of colours possible with copper based glazes. It was great fun talking oxidising and reducing environments inside the kiln, then seeing green or red glazes.
