Learn More Lab Health and Safety Provide a Supply of First Aid Equipment and Instruction on Its Proper Use OSHA specifies in 29 CFR 1910 that first aid kits need to be specified by the consulting physician There are some emergencies that can’t wait five minutes for EMTs to arrive. Severe bleeding is one of these. A person can bleed to death in three to five minutes depending on the severity. Employees need to be available to deal effectively with this and other serious emergencies. Read More Feature Article Applying Data Science to Better Predict Effect of Weather on Solar Panels Using data science to predict the deterioration of such materials could lead to finding new ways to extend their lifetime In a new study, a team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Gebze Technical University (GTU) in Turkey used data science to determine and predict the effects of exposure to weather and other conditions on materials in solar panels.

In 2003, the Human Genome Project was completed after 13 years of painstaking work and at a cost of nearly $3 billion. Today, a human genome can be sequenced in a matter of hours for close to $1,000. Advances in genome sequencing technologies over the past few decades have been the basis for significant progress in a range of fields, from precision medicine to evolutionary biology.
