BMX

Has anyone heard if BMX is really moving operations from Hazelwood to China?

Eastern culture living vs Western Culture Living

Yep, all those contract labs off shore are just full of US citizens, with advanced degrees, looking to India and China for a better life!

GIVE ME YOUR TIRED - YOUR POOR...

Where is Beckman Coulter going?

It's no secret that Beckman Coulter has terminated the employment of many long term, hard working employees across all areas of the company. Many of those functions have been outsourced to other firms. Some functions like accounts payable or small subassembly manufacturing can be outsourced fairly easily.

Wyeth Sites to survive?

Obviously Pearl will survive since Prevnar is the bread and butter right now. Any other ideas about Grange, Andover and Cambridge?

What advice would you give a high school student looking to make a career in biotech?

Knowing then what you know now, is there any obvious thing you would have done differently when you chose a career in biotech? What would you tell an aspiring biotech person to do or avoid while pursuing this career?

More fake Chinese peptide companies

When will it end? They obviously are hanging up as many shingles as possible making it seem like they are all different companies. Neo-peptide and Neobioscience are all the same. They occupy but an office on the 18th floor of the Riverview Bldg in Cambridge, MA. Who is actually on the lease for the 18th floor? Regus Executive Offices and their many clients who share the facilities.

Invitrogen = China peptides

Just received an email promotion from GL Biochem stating that they have been supplying Invitrogen with peptides since 2008.

Sad to say Invitrogen has joined other companies who resell China peptides: Biomatik, CPC, Chempep, Genescript, Peptide 2.0, and SynBioSci. Just to name a few.

>Now,Invitrogene company is one of our stable customers.

Bio-Rad buying an Antibody company?

I heard a rumor that Bio-Rad is buying an antibody company. Anyone know who? I heard that Abcam is available.

PFE on my mind - LJ PGRD

Wow! The climate at the site is just sad. I walk the halls at 3:30p and everyone is gone! Is this a sign of the times?

I just saw the posting of the guy that was saying that a toilet is being installed at his workstation. Unbelievable! We can't take the time to "take a dump and wipe our butt" without worrying about productivity at the site?

Something has to change....but what??????
