I now have a Friday afternoon meeting because my client decided that a change control (that is closed) needs to be discussed. Anyone else having a week of zombie work?

Best part is that it impacted 4 batches

They already released 3 of them… so annoying

I'm hoping tomorrow will be uneventful, but it's funny that you mention zombie work. I had a thought earlier that something I thought was finished may not be, for reasons too boring to go into. Not sure if that will turn up to vex me tomorrow. I'd prefer a quiet Friday to transition into a weekend of doing nothing at all.

Oofffff. Friday afternoon meetings should be illegal. Mine hasn't been great by any means, but at least my afternoon is completely free. Should be smooth sailing into the weekend ⛵️

A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?

I understand the importance of citations. It's a wonderful way to show how your work builds on previous research. But sometimes I just want to write an article that says "I think this" without having to cite everyone who ever said that before me.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
