June Discount: New stunning posters by Theo Gray

If you love tools or elements, these are for you. Popular Science writer Theo Gray spent the last 20 years collecting every element in the Periodic Table and photographing them to create his brilliant Elements book series. He turned that book into the poster below and Genius Lab Gear has acquired the exclusive rights to print and sell it in the USA. After the success of that book and poster, he did the same thing with unique vintage and modern tools, organizing them just like a Periodic Table to create his Periodic Table of Tools poster.

For our launch of these in June, card holders can get 20% off when they buy two posters using code “POSTER20” at checkout. Limit 1 use per customer and 10 total uses.

June Resource: Dump, Lump, and Jump for faster paper writing

Writing papers from scratch is tough…but this technique is the key to overcoming “blank page” syndrome, without AI. It’s called the “Dump, Lump, and Jump” method:

The "dump" phase involves a free-flowing, unstructured outpouring of all relevant information related to your research. This includes raw data, observations, notes from literature reviews, methodological details, potential arguments, and even tangential ideas. Focus on getting everything out of your head and onto the page - no grammar or ordering issues here!
The "lump" phase is about clustering ideas. Group related ideas, data points, and arguments together by dragging them around. Identify core ideas and arguments of your paper with temporary subheadings or color-coding. Create logical clusters of information that will form the backbone of your manuscript.
The "jump" phase is where you organize the "lumps" into coherent, well-structured paragraphs and sections. Refine your language, ensure logical flow between sentences and paragraphs, and integrate citations.

Here’s a 5-minute YouTube video that explains it visually, if that’s easier!

Our lab coats featured in Chemical & Engineering News!

We’re proud to be featured in C&EN’s article "Ill-fitting lab coats raise safety and inclusivity concerns!" highlighting our work designing better-fitting lab coats for all scientists. The article also covers our upcoming maternity lab coat, developed through community feedback to fill the current gap in available options. Krystal also reported on our original Lab Coat Project crowdfunding campaign, which started a snowball of other media appearances and ultimately helped this project get funded! She’s got her finger on the pulse in this realm and I encourage you to follow her on BlueSky.
