Watching tortoises eat is easily one of my favorite feedings. It’s their tongues. I’m obsessed with the cute tongues.

When work is so slow because the chemicals and glassware haven’t arrived yet, so you do some viscosity testing, only to realize that it is slow too !

When technology meets from the last 50 years.

On left there is a reaction that is stirred on a magnetic stirrer and kept under a slight over pressure of nitrogen gas to keep the reaction oxygen free. From the other side a quite old, but still perfectly working syringe pump is used to add a reagent to the reaction with a really low speed. 

This technique is frequently used when low concentration matters and it is critical to keep at least one of reactants on a low but constant concentration.
