There’s a right way, and a wrong way.<\/p>\n
\nWe’re a big lab. Currently about 20 active (quiet, Rohn) members in the group including grad students. And there’s a new kid on the supplier block. They are SDR Clinical Technology, based in Middle Cove NSW. I’ve never heard of them, but I already have them marked down as complete muppets. <\/p>\n
\nThey’re trying to raise their profile and get us to buy the stuff they distribute\u2014fair enough, but what they’ve done is mail three catalogues each to over a dozen people in our lab, including the grad students (and countless more to the rest of the department). Each set of three catalogues (none of which were larger than A4) arrived in a ‘Number 7’ padded bag (‘361 mm x 483 mm Suits A3’) which ‘feature an extremely strong and light-weight bubble lining’ and are, apparently, ‘ideal for packing items which require some protection from impact’. <\/p>\n
\nThe catalogues themselves: one is an instrument catalogue, which is fair enough, but one is on behavioural research (eh<\/a>?) and the third is cell biology and electrophysiology. No one here would know how to electro a physiology if it bit them (Ian<\/a>?), and me, the token cell biologist in the lab, didn’t even get the catalogues.<\/p>\n \nKate’s called them up to give them a bollocking, but you know, I think they’re onto something. If you cut down all the trees, there won’t be any more bushfires<\/a>, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s a right way, and a wrong way. We’re a big lab.
