May Discount:
Want to have some more fun in your lab? How about leaving ridiculous phrases and passive-aggressive rants on your lab fridge or white board with science-themed word magnets? Like any good party game, having a limited number of words introduces creative constraints. That's what makes it so fun.
For May get $1.50 off every Word Magnet set you buy with the code WORDSMITH! We're only allowing 5 more uses of this code because we don't usually discount them. Choose from 11 different sets ranging from Chemistry to Academia!
May Resource - Negotiating for vacation:
Many of you might be starting new steps in your careers this summer. If you're in the USA you might not be getting quite as much vacation as you hoped for! I ran into this myself when I started my first job, but after two years was able to renegotiate and nearly double my vacation time! I wrote about it in this blog post. Follow these tips to get yourself a better deal, no matter what stage you're in!
May News - The Pocket Paleontologist is ready for your next expedition!
Designed for fossil-hunters and rock hounds to measure, photograph, and sketch anything they find right away. It's our first Pocket card in the life sciences, and we had some help designing it from professional paleontologists! See all the fun details and my super fun photo shoot on the product page.
Lab Coat Project Update:
The first 30 lab coats are being made now! This is a sample run of our intended design to let our 30 Beta Testers fix any more design flaws before full production. Keep an eye on our Instagram for more updates!
Just for fun:
Just when you think professors have all the answers...
