Repetitive laboratory tasks cause numerous shoulder, forearm, wrist, and hand injuries. Research has shown that pipetting just 1.3 hours per day

elevates the risk of these upper limb symptoms. In this webinar, sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientifi c, a panel of experts discuss injuries common in

the lab and provide tips and tricks for avoiding them.

Simplifying Patient Participation in Research

Research depends on samples from patients and healthy volunteers. However, obtaining biospecimens from human subjects can be a challenge

for researchers and patients alike. Home-based specimen collection directly connects patients to researchers, while alleviating the burden of travel

to secondary sites. Using this approach, researchers effi ciently collect patient samples in the comfort of their homes. This webinar, sponsored by

Sanguine, details research experiences from researcher and patient perspectives.
