This webinar will delve into the art of effective communication through insightful role-playing and practical exercises. This workshop is designed to enhance your communication skills and broaden your understanding of its impact.

This webinar will discuss alternatives to Class D aromatic hydrocarbon used daily in the histology laboratory for tissue processing, slide staining, processor cleaning and the removal of coverslips. Alternatives range from unconventional methods using liquid dishwashing soap and cedarwood oil to commercially available alternatives such as isopropanol or SlideBrite. Each laboratory has different needs and requirements for tissue processing and staining. Each laboratory must validate their chosen xylene alternative to validate the method works with their processor and stainer.

Overall, while histology began over four centuries ago, it’s still highly relevant to today’s gene therapy research. The integration of RNAScope, combined with powerful morphological stains, position histology as an indispensable component of the drug development research process.

In this webinar we will share some “Histology Hacks” to properly prepare tissue, an essential but often overlooked element of cryosectioning, and guide practitioners to achieve better cryosectioning outcomes in the research environment.

This talk will explore the impact that self-collection and drop-off of specimens, plus the potential for more point of care testing using artificial intelligence can have in giving women better access to healthcare.

This general session will provide insight if you struggle to achieve mouse eyeball preparation free of distortion such as shrinking and eyeball wall denting during fixation and paraffin processing, or if you have difficulty keeping ocular sections on glass slides while performing immunohistochemistry (IHC) or in situ hybridization (ISH) assays.

The science of happiness shows that leaders have the capacity to modulate their habits and biases to overcome challenges within themselves, and help others to achieve the same. By examining the roles of applied leadership principles on inner work life, triangulated working relationships, and the hierarchy of basic human needs, pathology and histology professionals can learn how they can affect the conditions leading to happiness in others.

Join Dr. Mark Hart, Director of Digital Learning from the Duke University Sanford School of Public Policy for a discussion on what it means to be a lifelong learner, how to become one, and how teach others those skills so that your lab is better prepared for unexpected changes and disruptions. ** This is a free member educational resource and does not qualify for CEUs **
