1. Improve your safety in a laboratory
List of WHMIS classification symbols
This article made by the University of Regina is a simple, but very useful PDF document to improve your safety in a laboratory. When you do experiments in a laboratory, you use many chemical product that can be very dangerous for us because of their toxicity or if they can start a fire, so the scientists put some symbols on the container of the product to signify what they could be dangerous for. It's very important to know the signification of these symbols because their description aren't on the container, so this website is a perfect list to remind you of their signification, so you can avoid any terrible accident when you do an experience.
2. Make rigorous experimentation
The basics of the scientific method
This article written by the board-certified nurse, science writer and educator Regina Bailey describe in detail a research process named the scientific method that is very important in biochemistry and in science in general because it's due to this method that scientific report are trust by the scientific community. This website describe all the steps of this method perfectly, so it's a perfect reference to have with you when you're doing scientific report. If you're not applying this process correctly, you will be lost in all your idea and the result of yours experiments will not necessarily respond to your original question, or they will be slated because your experiment wasn't taking place in great condition. So, by doing it correctly, you will prove that you arrived at a good conclusion by doing a rigorous process and that's the key for the credibility of a science article.
3. Learn the basic biochemistry laboratory techniques
Basic biochemistry laboratory techniques
This article lists the basic techniques used by a biochemist in a laboratory and explains them in details by even giving little tips to improve the result. These techniques are frequently used by in the laboratory and have to be applied perfectly and for the good type of situations, so it's fantastic to have a reminder easily accessible like this website that describes step by step each technique. It also has a section that compares the type of microscope with their characteristics and by describing their strengths and their defaults, so it's perfect to know which microscope is good in which situation and how to use them efficiently to save time and avoid doing mistake in your observation.
