  1. I partially agree. People does need incentive but i believe feeling good about helping others is, i hope, enough. What do i base my beliefs on ? well, I'll tell you. In my university there are more than 200 labs which naturally work on a variety of fields. Despite this variability the materials used in the labs are generally tangential. For instance, not long ago i needed centricon tubes for protein concentration cause our supplier was a day late and my experiment was already running. I turned the university inside out and upside down but could not find one with the right threshhold. In all the labs i been to, they had no problem giving me their centricons (which i couldnt use but even so...). Another example, we have an ELISA reader and people from all over come read their plates like we use the beta counter of other lab 7 stories away from us. People around, in all the universities share all the time but often are familiar only with the labs in their close vicinity or in collaboration with which is quite limited. I can't see a reason why not widen that habit of sharing. I admit it sound a bit naive, but, how many time you have thought about something good (at least in your mind) and have done nothing about it just because... Ronny
  2. Hello everyone, my name is Ronny. After so many times of antibody tubes mysteriously disappeared the morning I needed it to my experiment I decided to do something about it. I guess you all know the feeling, that chill down your spine when a lab member says, "oh, I just finished it yesterday". Immediately, labs in your vicinity are running through your head trying to figure out who might have what you are looking for and would help you with a small sample. For that purpose I have created a semi-social network. The groups were created according to names of medical schools, universities and scientific institutes around the world. The way I see it, you face a shortage of a certain material, you post a query on your group's page and hopefully someone in the next hour will see it and rescue your experiment. In time the site will cover other issues for the benefit of the scientific community such as protocols, learning material, conferences and so on, but all of this depends on the good will of the site users. I will do all in my power to make it happen. The name www.Shareatube.com Hope you'll join us Ronny P.S - Just for "fun", a mouse procedure i performed in my lab
