This isn't just chopped liver. This is a course in Applied Quality Practice!

Jennifer and her classmates start a fictional biotech company and practice using Quality Systems. Doesn't Strawberry Science Panda Extractables sound yummy?

Not unlike many students whom are perpetually task saturated throughout the term, I tend to catch up on my social media as soon as we break. In addition to my love for Bio-Link.org, I have quite a bit additional science nerdiness representing on my personal facebook and Google+ feeds.  So this week, I thought I would share some of those pages as well as some of my favorite Chrome apps and maybe (hopefully) find out what some of your favorites are too.

I love my Dad very much but we have never really had the type of father daughter relationship that involves regular phone calls or visits. He’s busy. I’m busy.

Jennifer shares an impressive list of the skills she's learned in the biotech lab and reflects on her self assessment.

Is it science or art?  Jennifer tells us about make tubes with lovely colors, better known as Bradford and ß-galactosidase assays, and graphs with Excel.  Guest speakers tell the PCC classes about technology transfer at OHSU and cell culture at Najit Technologies.
