benchfly: video lab tutorials. . . and more

Remember the first time you learned sterile technique, or how to make a bacterial spreader, or how to blow up a distillation apparatus? Well, now you can relive the disorientation and anxiety nostalgic fuzzy feeling with benchfly.com, a site that offers video tutorials on various lab tasks, like making a bacterial spreader using a glass rod and a bunsen burner.

Overall, looks like an excellent resource for teachers. But wait - how'd this one slip in there?

Now that is a productive use of glass and alcohol!

hahaha! Well, as a former bench scientist yourself, I'm sure you appreciate the need for some ethanol-related protocols that don't involve sterilizing a hood...

Thanks for the kind words regarding the site! I'd be very interested to hear about your own personal journey in science!
