Where is your creativity ending up?

You've done your experiment a dozens of times.

You've definitely come up with a few tricks of the trade to do your experiment a dozen times faster and a dozen times cheaper.

Innovation is always happening in the lab: experiment techniques are always being modified to save time and money.  We are finding more accurate ways to pipette, how to use less antibodies each time, and how to do things faster.

Collective creativity

To take our creativity somewhere and put it all together, Lab Bites was created to publish our smart tips online and in print.  Lab Bites focuses on growing a community of researchers to share these tricks of the trade with others, rather than just between friends.

Its like a collaboration - at the technical level.

 
This helps everyone do science a little better.

How this happened

Kerhan"When I first worked in a lab I noticed that there wasn't anything fun to read, and a couple of years later, having worked in different labs I also noticed that everyone was coming up with smart tips that made their research easier.

The problem was that there was no initiative to share these tips beyond our own lab because there wasn't a site for doing so.  ...And there still wasn't anything fun to read in the lab.

 

I came up with the Lab Bites idea when I was reading Coffee News while waiting for my lunch to be served.
Surely we could do something similar for labs while waiting for the centrifuge to stop?  Or while waiting in between those PBS washes.
In those five minutes, we could read Lab Bites for a little bit of fun and pick up a few smart tips..."
