Science Market Update

In the David and Goliath world of science research funding, young scientists who lack the experience and PI status to pull in funding from sources like the NIH and NSF now have a new resource at petridish.org.  The website, just launched in a beta version, allows scientists to appeal to ordinary folk for funding to support their research, with typically modest goals of $10,000 or less. The nine projects that debuted on petridish.org are almost all led by PhD candidates, post-docs, and staff researchers from top universities, and most are looking to travel to do data collection for life science projects.  These could be tomorrow's big names in science research, getting innovative about moving their research forward now. 

On-campus life science vendor shows are an excellent way for researchers to discover, examine, and discuss the laboratory products they need with informed sales reps from the companies that sell those products. At Biotechnology Calendar, Inc., we work hard to make sure that the scientists who come to our vendor shows get the most out of their experience there. Our science-educated event managers understand the challenges faced by researchers in the lab --and how valuable their time is-- so we bring suppliers and their wares directly onto university campuses to demonstrate the latest and best equipment.
