Having been a sales representative for many years covering Arizona and New Mexico, I have noticed that there are not a lot of local resources available to lab personnel. Whether the information be available jobs in the area or which doctors to go to or where to live, it takes many individuals months to discover the right job or the right doctor or the right school for our kids. A lot of this information tends to come from our connections – people in the same lab or our neighbors. What if there is a place where you could visit to pull useful information quickly? What if we could all benefit from each other’s lab connections and everyone could provide feedback to help each other find that job or the apartment near campus?
This is the idea behind mylabconnection (MyLC). What I hope to accomplish is to build a web-based resource to help everyone who are involved in laboratory work, whether you are the lab technician or a PI and even the vendor reps coming into town for a day or two. The site would only work if you provide the feedback, so please comment and make suggestions to help me build and improve our resources.
Thank you for visiting and please follow my blog to help me build the site.

Hi Mindy,
ReplyDeleteWe met a few years ago when you installed and trained us on the NanoVue by GE. I think this is a great idea, and I hope you get lots of traffic! This could be an excellent resource for those times when we need to get in touch with colleagues who have experience in assays, techniques, instrumentation that we are considering. Good Luck!
