Below is an impromptu little Twitter campaign I devised while attending the American Chemical Society’s biannual meeting in Denver in 2015.
Our freebie wacky-lab-assistant rubber duckies were making quite a splash, so I grabbed my camera and a makeshift reporter’s notebook and struck up some fun conversations with the folks in line at our booth.
Ahhh… We love the smell of custom Lab Manuals in the morning! Come say "Hi!" at #ACSDenver. We're in aisle 1000. pic.twitter.com/NGzNfopcx5
