Left your ice pack behind while traveling — now what?

You’ve got your research compounds with you. Some are reconstituted, some still in powder form. Mid-trip, it hits you… no ice pack.

What’s the play?

• Scrap everything?• Wait it out and refrigerate when you land?• Somewhere in the middle?

Here’s the reality: these compounds aren’t nearly as delicate as people make them out to be. Even reconstituted material is more resilient than most assume over the course of a normal travel day.

My approach? Get them into the fridge as soon as you arrive and keep it moving. It’s not something you want to make a habit of, but one day in transit isn’t a disaster.
