The wet lab questions on ccp4bb are crystallography related in most if not all cases, aren't they? I'm  quite sure that people send more general wet lab questions to other bb's.

It's not an e-mail bulletin board, but Researchgate seems to be quite popular for wet lab questions. IMO the Q&A section of the social network is a bit messy. That said, the quality seems to improve gradually.

Cheers,

FWIW, the remit of CCP4BB, held at jiscmail-central, is describes as:

/The CCP4BB mailing list is for discussions on the use of the CCP4
suite, and macromolecular crystallography in general./



Thus wet-lab questions are not off-topic (not that anyone recently
described them as such).

Having said that, Jiscmail mailing lists are easy to set-up (providing
that you can reasonably expect that the mailing list will improve
knowledge sharing within the UK centered academic community) and
relatively low maintenance. I, for one, would not be entirely unhappy to
miss out on questions about lysis.

Paul.
