As a science university student I’d conservatively guess that around 80% of my science time was sat on my bum. I seemed to spend most of my time in lectures or sat at a lab bench confused as to why my Petri dish of cheese mould was on fire. Even Read more…
The world of lab consumable sales is a competitive battle field of cut throat companies all fighting over a handful of confused researchers.

Happy new year (again). We’re slowly gearing back up for lots of fun things at ErrantScience. Currently I’m working on two seasonal projects called “hugging a hot water bottle” and “taking all the flu meds”.

Hi, we normally have a round up blog post for this Wednesday but both Michelle and I have had so much on that we’ve dropped the ball on this weeks. Sorry! Next week we’ll back to full strength, or at least enough strength for cartooning and blogging 🙂 Enjoy this Read more…
