[[File:Twemoji 1f195.svg|left|140px]] '''Several new useful pieces have been added to the wiki''' in 2018, with more in the works. First, be sure to check out the webinar series ''A Guide for Management: Successfully Applying Laboratory Systems to Your Organization's Work'' by laboratory automation and computing professional Joe Liscouski. The [[LII:A Guide for Management: Successfully Applying Laboratory Systems to Your Organization's Work|seven-part webinar]] takes viewers on a journey of laboratory technologies and how they may or may not apply to the work you do. And of course a whole quiver of [[:Category:LIMSwiki journal articles (added in 2018)|journal articles]] have been added in 2018, touching on topics such as big data in healthcare and managing information across a wide variety of scientific contexts. What's coming in 2019? Look forward to updates to several key guides posted here, including more equipment and vendor information for the [[LII:Past, Present, and Future of Cannabis Laboratory Testing and Regulation in the United States|''Past, Present, and Future of Cannabis Laboratory Testing and Regulation in the United States'']] guide, and updated citations and statistics in our other popular guides. Happy wiking!

[[File:Continental Carbon Company (10429000336).jpg|left|130px]] '''Relatively new to the wiki but previously unannounced''' is what will eventually become part of a series on the various industries and settings a [[laboratory]] can be found: ''[[LII:The Laboratories of Our Lives: Labs, Labs Everywhere!|The Laboratories of Our Lives: Labs, Labs Everywhere!]]''. This guide may eventually change names and be integrated with more content. However, for now it acts as a solid introduction to the concept of how laboratories intersect our lives in ways we may not necessarily expect. The guide first sets a historical stage for the development of the laboratory, and it then offers a basic framework for looking at today's laboratories, whether by science, industry, or function. Then it provides a brief snapshot of 20 different sectors, listing lab examples, test types, equipment used, and how [[informatics]] may be applied in those laboratories, followed by a brief closing discussion. Hopefully the guide provides a more inspiring picture of how the laboratory intersects nearly every aspect of our lives.

This quick update is to inform you that after some neglect, the education section of the LIMSwiki Resource center has finally received an update. Time was short to check everything in each higher education facility's record, but all education program URLs were verfied and updated extensively. In a few cases, additional or new programs were added when found. This resource was originally developed in 2013, and in 2016 it received an update. It was very much in need of a refresh (particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged many higher education programs), and I finally found a little time to get it done. Happy educational program hunting!
