Found another one. Its called "
In the Pipeline", authored by Derek Lowe. Derek works and writes about life as a scientist disocvering novel pharmaceutical compounds. A good starting (and humorous) entry is "
How Not to Do It: Distilling Benzene". This entry and related comments contain some pretty humorous (at least now they are) stories.
Summer students are showing up at academic and industrial labs around the country right about now. A certain percent of them will blow something up within the next three months, and that percent will be several standard deviations above the ka-boom rate of the other lab members. I'm not trying to say mean things about summer students. I merely speak the truth.
Luckily, I have never been a subject of one of these stories (I think!!).
