Happy Labor Day from The Beaker Report. Steve spent his weekend moving into a new house. The guys start by talking about living with someone after having lived on their own and how having your own space is essential. After recapping their Labor Day activities they discuss their first week of fall semester. They talk about what it is like to teach labs and some of the differences in teaching Bio majors vs non-majors.

Next, they give some advise on how to keep track of references when writing research papers. Sometimes it can be a challenge to keep it all organized and a reference manager program like Endnote or Zotero can be really helpful. They also talk about how important math in biology can be. If you are interested in research, do yourself a favor and keep taking math courses beyond Calculus I.

Finally, the guys get into some travel stories. Steve bashes on United Airlines and Caleb retells some stories of his military experiences.
