Dear Histonetters, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you all about a project I have been working on with a couple of colleagues of mine. I had been frustrated while trying to gain information pertaining to our field. Reading text books took to long and frankly couldn't hold my attention. Conferences became too expensive for our lab to send a tech too every year so I never got to go. Journals also were too expensive and the vocabulary was so clinical that it needed a cryptologist to decipher. From this frustration came an idea. Why can't there be a website that has all of the available information in one place? On that fateful day, when the frustration became to great, HistoBob.com was born.
Written by histotechs, for histotechs, HistoBob.com is a place where anyone can find new information about Histotechnology. Conferences, new technology, polices and regulations, nothing is off limits. Histobob.com is not just information, but social and professional networking.
