September Discount: Lab Coat Project pre-order is 10-15% off
We opened the pre-order for The Lab Coat Project on August 31st. In 24 hours, we're already at 30% funded (about 180 lab coats ordered). But, we need to get to 600 total before Oct. 13th to fund half the manufacturing. This lab coat will never be sold below $50 again, so this is your only chance to get the discount AND you will help ensure we can manufacture these to help scientists love what they wear at work.
Start here to learn more about the project and reserve yours!
September Resource - Free chemical and materials research digital tools:
Here's a quick list of 3 super helpful, free digital tools that will save you time in your research if you deal at all with chemicals or materials:
- Chemspider: A great free tool for searching and drawing over 100 million chemical structures
- PubChem: A very simple but useful browswer tool for sketching structures
- SDS Search: A huge free database to quickly search for Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for chemicals you're using and not 100% sure about.
Just for fun:
Sometimes you just don't have the resources to compete with the big institutions. Just do your best!

Behind-the-scenes news:
We've been 100% focused on the launch of The Lab Coat Project. The support from the community has been incredible, including 15 donated lab coats as of Day 2! The fact that several people are willing to contribute toward our goal for the sake of the cause shows just how passionate scientists can be about this project and what it can do. It's not really about the lab coats after all. It's about what the lab coats can do for your daily life.
