Lab Research Backup

This post links to a backup of all the lab research I've conducted over the past two years.

The file covers a range of topics including chemistry, geology, horticulture, whatever seems important enough to write about. Much of the contents aren't documented anywhere else on the internet.

The following is a list of subjects that I've researched. By posting this list I'm hoping that google will index these phrases so people can find my research.

@Texium thank you for moving the thread, my bad for posting it in the wrong place.

Looks like I can't replace the dropbox link to the backup in the original post, so here's the new one again:
