Histonet Listserv Members, I am a recent graduate with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I have completed over 80 hours of laboratory training in histology by means of a Biological Microtechniques course at my college.
During that time, I was familiarized with the basics of histochemistry, specimen fixation, paraffin embedding, microtome use/serial sectioning, complex staining, mounting, and digital image optimization. I have amassed a modest portfolio of my work with several animal tissues as well as foliose lichens. I am looking for an opportunity to further develop my knowledge and practice of histological techniques so that I may meet the eligibility requirements for HT (ASCP) certification and begin a career in this extraordinary field. As of now, I have no geographical preference. Is there any way to develop experience (paid if possible) in a laboratory setting for someone of my qualifications? I am looking forward to the possibility of showcasing some of my work, learning more about any possible opportunities, and developing a course of action to get involved in a career in histology. Thank you for your consideration, and all the hospitality and advice Histonet has provided thus far. Yours Sincerely, Ryan M.
