The biggest news coming out of the AACC/ASCLS conference in Houston was made by Judy Yost of CMS.

In the run-up to the AACC/ASCLS conference in Los Angeles, you may have seen a notice about a free book giveaway. For the first 150 people to come to the SeraCare booth at the Laboratory Exposition, they would receive a free book of their choice (from among the three possible titles: Basic QC Practices, Basic Method Validation, and Six Sigma Risk Analysis).
The line to get books, Tuesday Morning of the AACC/ASCLS conference
We expected the event to last the entire day. Do you want to guess how long it actually took before all the books were gone?

The Asian Society of Continuing Medical Education was kind enough to invite me to present in a workshop titled "Assuring Quality, Standardization, and Efficiency in the Laboratory 2012" In Delhi and Mumbai.
