#1 Isopropyl alcohol is not all that lethal. Some online estimates give a dose of 250 ml (about 8 oz) as lethal for humans. A concentrated amount smells to high heaven.
? a practice run?
Possible her Facebook page with a photo from a couple of decades ago. Of interest, using Facebook's own search engine, finding her page was not possible using the name "Ramineh Behbehanian" Google found the Facebook page that Facebook couldn't, or wouldn't, find.

#9 A one-off, isolated incident of workplace violence perpetrated by a frustrated microbiologist. I blame the spread of Keurig Platinum B70 home units. No need to dig further.

#14 I keep a bottle in my office - kept off to one side so I don't unknowingly sip it instead of pop while deep in a coding session. Good for cleaning.
