Ah shit are you me a few years in the future? Currently in the corporate phase, only, instead of my PhD convincing people that I know what I'm talking about, I get told to pound sand and, for everything I do, every slight change I make, consult our minored-in-chemistry EHS focal points whose only hands-on lab experience is neutralizing bicarb with food-grade acetic acid solutions inside a molded clay vessel. And, for "reactive chemistry" concerns, consult the ChemE "expert" in another time zone who can't read even structures of organic molecules.

EDIT: actually in retrospect I don't believe that they have done even the bicarb thing because it involves gas evolution, which is a big no-no.
