Welcome to the Based Lab Man! Dr Hugo Schmidt, CARES Laborataory Manager, explains why and how his blog aims to cover the basics of how to be a good lab manager.
Why?
When I switched from the postdoc route to the lab manager route, I was staggered by how little stuff there is on managing a lab day to day.
Resources like The Journal of Chemical Health and Safety are technical (and paywall protected!) while Lab Manager magazine has more of a technical, popular science slant. These are both good publications, mind, and I read each issue cover to cover. It is just that they don’t cover the basics of how to be a good lab manager.
