The Coming

In coming weeks Company-X will be 'checking-in' with my advisor on the condition of my laboratory. Currently its almost non-existent. The reason for this is that upon being funded one of the requests is that my lab be placed in a new location thus giving only me access to it. I can no longer use shared spaces, or permit anyone access to my work if they are not on a special list generated by the Company. This being the case I need to rebuild the room, and get all new equipment to populate it with. It could take a few weeks, and I still need to place a materials order for all my new glassware. 

Also, I have been given a list of plants they want cultured, and I should point out that these plants are all edible, with the exception of one. 

A very common variety of Tree.

I haven't been told why these are the chosen plants, and scientifically its a leap to use them in these experiments but it was approved all the way down the line and I can't see any reason to NOT use them. 

I will get back to you on these plants chosen, my thoughts thus far probably shouldn't be placed here since I really don't want to jump to radical conclusions based on edible plant choices.  

But really, testing the effects of highly toxic nanoparticles on edible plants and trees, you can see why I may be a bit concerned with the lack of research they have had published, can't you ?

Sketchy.
