National Laboratory Professionals Week is April 20-25, 2014 — and this year during the same week's Earth Day, 22 April 2014. That's an interesting combination of things we need time to consider — what have to do with Earth Day laboratory medicine? Or vice versa?
It seems to me that there is a directly proportional relationship here; and a link to our current and future State, if we want health for both the people of the world and the planet we all occupy.
I wish everyone in the field of medicine from the laboratory and field a great Lab Week — both locally and globally!
