It is great to

I'm doing research right now. I have until November to write up the proposal for funding. The professor I'm working with was explaining the chemicals and safety and all that stuff, and she said "Wear a lab coat and gloves when you use this bath, it won't kill you, but it might burn off all your skin, but you won't die or anything" ????????!!!! crazy.
What exactly is the objective of your research with cyanide?

I have until november to write it up too, crazy. All of my research has to be done in the fume hood becuase of the cyanide. It is a bit scary to know that the stuff we are working with could do that much damage, don't you think.

My research will deal with, in short, using a chiral ionic liquid to catalyze a reaction and control the stereochemistry of the products in order to produce all right handed (or left-hander) chiral products. It is a lot more complicated than that, but I myself cannot figure it all out yet. The write-up should be fun.

What is you research on?

I'm working in the fume hood too. I saw a dead bug in there the other day. gross.

I'm researching the DNA "hot spots" of skin cancer. I'm photodimerizing orotic acid (a derivative of thymine) to understand why some thymines are prone to damage by sunlight.
