(WallPaper) #1
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.
