Happy Friday everyone! Week 2 back in the lab JHU Chemistry and we are all doing our best to stay #safe. Remember, masks are required at all times while on campus. Make sure to keep your nose and mouth covered! #labsafety

ACS DCHAS is sponsoring a workshop on “Empowering Academic Researchers to Strengthen Safety Culture." Sign up below to learn about and be empowered to promote lab safety culture. Sun, Aug 16 (3-6PM EDT) #chemtwitter #chemsafety #ACS #chemistry #chemjobber dchas.org/2020/06/01/lst…

A perfect example of don't try this at home, lab, or anywhere! 🤣 Always use a gas cylinder cart to transport gas cylinders, ensure that the cap is on, and really, really don't do more than one at a time. 🥽

📋 Here's a great example of a revised SOP for lab re-openings with new requirements! Make sure to update yours to reflect these as necessary before starting up your chemistry🧪

I haven't seen anyone else report this: over two weeks ago, Chemistry at Illinois dropped the GRE (general/subject) requirement. We no longer want GRE scores submitted. #GRExit chemistry.illinois.edu/grad-adm

⚠️COVID-19 tests are available for free for UIUC faculty, staff, and students!⚠️If you experience any symptoms 🤒or are concerned that you may have been exposed to the virus, take advantage of this awesome opportunity!

Happy #safetymomentmonday! Now that most researchers are working reduced hours, remember to label all unattended reactions with safe operating cards in case something goes wrong when you're not in the lab.

Done with your shift in lab but your reaction is still going? ⚗️ Use safe operation cards (SOCs)! These inform others of what process/hazards are present, which is especially critical when you aren't there! JST has templates + more details available here: publish.illinois.edu/chemistryjoint…

Free on-campus COVID-19 testing is available to all faculty, staff & students. Here's what to expect: 🔸 Testing is free 🔹 The saliva collection only takes a few minutes 🔸 Results are expected within five hours Thank you in advance for doing your part. bit.ly/3iJ8byk

Happy #FluorescenceFriday all! 🌌
