FemaleScienceProfessor - when I was a grad student/postdoc <2014, I spent many hours reading this blog. I did not have a lot of female/academic role models in my life so I loved reading about her life.

UC Policy on Laboratory Safety Training Every member of our lab should know their rights to work in a safe environment. The official UC policy on laboratory safety can be found here.
Training Needs Assessment Form Each new member of a lab should complete proper training for lab safety in the actual lab that they will be working in. This includes awareness of any procedures involving hazardous materials and ways to protect themselves. This form helps to document such a training.
