Webinar: Next-Gen Lab Informatics Part 2: Transforming Development with New LIMS Technologies
“As the life sciences industry continues to evolve, so does the need for advanced laboratory management solutions that can help improve efficiency, streamline workflows, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. That’s where the next-generation of LIMS comes in. In this webinar, we will discuss how the latest life sciences companies are transforming their laboratory operations with LIMS—integrating the management of samples, inventory, equipment, task planning and more into a single unified environment.…
AI4Green: An open-source ELN for green and sustainable chemistry
In this 2023 journal article published in the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, Boobier et al. of University of Nottingham discuss their free, open-source electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) for green and sustainable chemistry practice, AI4Green. The authors state their ELN also "automatically presents the hazards and sustainability of an inputted reaction by calculating sustainability metrics and a color-coded assessment of solvents and reaction conditions." After briefly discussing how it's implemented, the authors discuss the various functions of AI4Green, including its support for workgroups, workbooks, user roles, reaction building, reaction sketching, reaction analysis, exporting, and add-on functionality, such as the Solvent Guide. The authors also discuss how feedback was used during application development. They conclude that AI4Green "combines the practical benefits of an ELN alongside a framework for encouraging green and sustainable chemistry," though more work is to be done to extend its functionality. Regardless, even as-is, "AI4Green provides an exciting initial framework to unite an ELN with sustainable chemistry."

Webinar: Planning Ahead for a Lab Crisis
“All labs need to ask themselves, “If we lost everything—all equipment, all samples, all reagents, and all computers—would we be able to recover?” It doesn’t matter if the cause is a hurricane, an earthquake, a fire, an extended power outage, a blizzard, a pandemic, a ruptured pipe that results in flooding, etc.…
Webinars: Foundations, Techniques, and Applications of Information Visualization
“The development and application of information visualization are exciting in science, business, and technology. Visually and interactive presenting data in compelling graphs and charts can help us gain a deeper understanding of stories in massive datasets. Although there are many available techniques and tools of visualization, it is still important to execute effective design and best practices to create clear and accurate visualizations.…
