Sweet! Do you take readings often? I don't, too lazy I guess, and seems like you risk contamination each time you open the fermentation vessel.

Also I doubt that I am going to drop you. Not only because we will likely be in diff races (im cat3), but because I r sprinter and aren't as strong as you might think over long efforts.

Unless we're talking about a 200m 1v1 race. I'll drop your ass hard.
nope

correct! If you take a lot of reading you risk contamination. Primary lasts about 1 week, depends on how much yeast you use. When you see it slowing in the "bubbling," that is a pretty good indicator that your yeast has done its job.

This will be my second reading on primary. I usually do two readings per.

It's my understanding however, that you do not want fermentation to be completely done when you go to secondary, you want the initial stage of fermentation to be completed, which usually is 3-5 days. The extra CO2 created in the final stage of fermentation fills the head space of the secondary ferementer which reduces exposure to oxygen. At least that's how i read it in the brew book i've got.

mayb not the best idea considering people walk through with expensive or hazardous samples, but me move them when the fire marshall rolls through .
We have bike parking in the building on the loading dock level, surrounded by video cameras. I could probably leave my bike there unlocked, but that might be pushing it. So normally I'm fine having my bike down there.

Since it's nice out, I'm leaving work to go ride my freaking bike. I've only rode outside twice since September. It makes me want to kill myself.

Yeah, I agree, I am about 2 days ahead of the 1 week period. That 1 week is pretty arbitrary.

I'm a Physics major/ Chem minor.
Gen Chem. second semester.

Aced that sh*t conceptually, I assume I will have made a computational error or two.

sry i think i mixed u up w someone else.

P.S. nice major. I have a BS in chemistry (Dec 2010) and earned my best grades in Calc III, PDE's and (gasp) Electronics

best chem grades major were Pchem and Inorganic.

Differential... fun lol
I have been considering staying like another semester to get a BS in Mathematics. It would be one semester of like 16 units... but being a BS Physics major, i already have like 90% of the math major done...
idk... we'll see down the road lol

Inorganic Chem sounds fun to me.

RE: cancer research, that **** is going on ever where, including at my work. clearly there are alot of research dollars out there right now.
a couple guys at my work at working an an Fe magnetite nanoparticle for cancer therapy, funded by JHU (John Hopkins).

I don't know the dirty details as I am not working on this project, but the concept is pretty simple:
The Fe nanoparticles are prepared in house (proprietary method ), and the surface is coordinated with branched polyethylene glycol molecules.
The PEG is conjugated to an antibody that bonds with some sort of enzyme present in certain types of cancerous cells, the details of which I am ignorant.

The nano particles are introduced intravenously (i think?) and accumulate at the cancer site due to the Fe/PEG/Antibody/Cancer interactions.
The patient is placed in a strong magnetic field which causes the Fe to vibrate and heat up due to it's high magnetic moment, killing nearby cells.

pretty cool.
I've heard about this also, nanoparticles seem to be all the rage in cancer treatments now. I think the idea is that they can target the nanoparticles to the tumor because tumors take up a lot of glucose compared to normal cells (think of pet/ct scans and stuff). Then don't they have to shoot the tumor with some sort of laser or magnet or something? I don't know exactly how it works, but it is pretty neat.
