• Identifying Biomarkers to Aid in Humane Testing Protocols

  “Experimental endpoints in biomedical research should be determined on the basis of a combination of scientific, ethical, legal, practical, and humane considerations.” Any paper that starts with that sentence is bound to be at least somewhat interesting.  In this case, researchers were investigating markers of imminent death in inbred lab mice. They weighed the mice

• Precision Scale Maintains Consistency of Reloading

  If you’re making your own ammunition you’d like to be consistent in your process. First of all, there are the safety issues associated with overloading the charge in a cartridge. But even if you’re “close enough” to ensure safety, consistency of the load is important if you’re going to achieve consistency in the shot. So

• Introduction to Laboratory Testing for Gun Enthusiasts

  So you have to admire the goal set out by the producer of this video. He’s trying to bring some scientific integrity to his YouTube channel. Specifically, he’s trying to determine the effectiveness of four different gun-cleaning compounds. He begins by saying that he’s going to break up the discussion and demonstration into three parts.

• An Informed Customer is a Happy Customer

  The internet offers rapid access to more information than you could ever process. It’s my personal opinion that this has helped companies realize that the best way to get people to use their products is to provide their customers (and potential customers) with the information they need to understand HOW to use their products, even

• Do as I Say, Not as I—No, Don’t Do as I Say, Either

  Even where we have quibbles with a YouTube video, we can usually find good elements in most we bring to your attention. This one, though, just rubbed me the wrong way. It illustrates the use of the precision scale to measure the mass of the reactants, then the products of a chemical reaction. But, although
