Did your company produce one of the year's best innovations in life science? Do you know of an innovation that you think qualifies? If so, let us know!
The Scientist is pleased to present, for the second time, linkurl:the top 10 life science innovations of the year;https://www.the-scientist.com/2008/12/1/45/1/ -- back by popular demand! At the end of the year, we will count down the top 10 innovations of 2009, as determined by a panel of expert judges. But in order to be included on the list, we must receive information from you about the innovative product.We're defining "innovation" as anything researchers use in a lab -- this includes tools, cell lines, etc. A product that was released prior to 2009 could be considered one of this year's innovations if a version released during 2009 is a significant improvement over previous versions.Entries are due by Tuesday, September 15, 2009 -- with the possibility of a brief extension, if necessary. Companies who want to submit one of their products for consideration must send a brief description of the product, no longer than 500 words, including when the product was released and why it is an "innovation" to the life sciences. We accept multiple entries from one company. Or, if you are simply a user and believe a new product is worth our consideration, send us a brief note explaining why.Send entries/suggestions to: innovate2009@the-scientist.com. Include "Top innovation 2009" in the subject line.
