New interactive dashboard for lab safety injuries
The Lab Safety Institute is doing some incredible work. New this month is an interactive dashboard called the “Science Incident Dashboard”. I met the new director, Stephen, last week at the National Science Teachers (NSTA) conference and want to support them in their mission whenever possible.
Check out their website to see their findings from data-mining tens of thousands of reported lab safety incidents, including quick actions you can do to prevent many of them.
When you have incidents in your lab, however minor, you can submit them to their database to help other labs avoid the same mistakes in the future.
Just for fun: Science Cartoon
The Cybertruck designers really missed an opportunity here.

Surprise new product launching in May!
Following a hot tip from a customer, we are in talks to bring an existing fan-favorite product onto our website with exclusive rights to sell it in the USA. It fits our fan base very well and I’m excited to announce it once the details are finalized and the inventory is ready to ship! Hint: It’s quite…elemental.
