What do you do if you notice someone doing something wrong at your workplace? Do you report it or not say anything?

It depends what you mean by something wrong, there's a lot of shades of grey here. Colleague stealing snacks or candy from someone else's desk? I'll let it slide in exchange for a cut. Flirting with a coworker even though I know you're married? Gross, but not my business. Stealing from the lab? That's probably where I'd draw the line, but I'd talk to them first before reporting it to anyone.

What if they were bullying a fellow co worker?

As a staff member, I probably would have tried to stay out of it in a public manner but mention to the bully in private that his behavior is unacceptable and he needs to graduate junior high. As a manager, if the bullying is in public then so will be the retribution.

Well said

I might talk to them directly depending on what it is, or reach out to their manager to let them know to have a convo with them

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

What is one of the most frustrating parts of being a scientist or researcher?

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
