LabEx 2013 Getting Ready for Company

Dr. Buschhaus (biology) and Dr. Schriver (chemistry) are getting ready for LabEx 2013 here at Crandall University. Just last week Dr. B. was hunting for protists out on the campus and Dr.S. was dissolving metals in nitric acid to make standard solutions.

We have worked out our schedule at it will be Biology labs in the morning and Chemistry labs in the afternoon. The way our schedules have worked out the start time for the Biology lab in the morning will be 9:00 AM and will run until 12:00 noon there will be a lunch break/tutorial time from 12:00 - 1:30 and then the Chemistry labs will run from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM. People coming from away will need to note that start time for the first Biology lab at 9:00 AM.

Our lab manuals have been set and this is the outline for the week of labs:
