Science in Tough Times

Posted November 01, 2008 8:11 AM

Stocks are swinging wildly, the word 'recession' has become more than just a whisper, and job cuts are spread across the board. Plans for new instrumentation are being temporarily shelved — if they aren't scrapped altogether. Assuming that the job (and company) still exists, how can lab workers make the best of hard times? And what resources do you turn to if a pink slip appears? If you're job evaporates with the drop in the company's stock price, where do you turn first?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Scientific Instruments, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Scientific Instruments today.
