[Histonet] RE: Histonet Digest, Vol 45, Issue 31

Wed Aug 22 12:24:10 CDT 2007

Dear Friends, colleagues and vendors,

I am just back from the Animal IHC workshop in San Francisco. If you are
doing any kind of Animal IHC this workshop is FOR YOU. 

There is always something to learn. I did fly all the way from Chicago
and learn a new about Animal IHC.

I am going to offer our lab in Chicago, IL in future for some other kind
of IHC/ISH workshops for histo-people who lives close by. All vendors
welcome to offer their products and trainings.

Thanks to Zara Naser and her team from INNOVEX.

James,

welcome to the world of being flamed. But please don't stop your
opinions 

because of a few people. If everyone thought alike, this would be a dull

world.

I thought as you did once and was going to remain silent. Even after the

threat of loosing my job, I still gave my opinions. I even left for a
while, 

but didn't feel right. I guess I just have too big of mouth to be kept 

silent.

Welcome to the flamed club, but please be vocal about you opinions.

Been there, done that

JTT

I apologize for not stating my opinion clearly enough yesterday (it was

Monday morning).  I am not commenting on vendors giving courses. We

would loose a lot of training if vendors did not give classes.  I have

helped arrange and advertised on the histonet vender taught classes

myself.  I did not say anything when a histo tech forwarded their

advertisement about the course.  I was not attacking this company. When

I said I did not know this company I meant to say I do not know anyone

from this company.  I do use some of their products; their FC receptor

block has worked extremely well on skin samples when staining for c-kit

and phospho-c-kit in mast cells.

 My opinion is that vendors should not be able to post on the Histonet

directly.  I guess we have set a new precedent, vendors are allowed

direct access to the Histonet, so Dako, Biocare, Ventana, Leica, and all

the other vendors that offer courses should be allowed direct access to

the Histonet.

I will return to being a silent observer on the Histonet and only

responding directly to individuals about questions.  And yes I do know

what the delete button is. Thank you.

Are you kidding me.

We have come a long way from barring the vendors from doing ws at the

NSH

S/C or anywhere else.  Without the support of our vendors (who by the

way

have some very knowledgeable speakers many of whom came from histology)

the

national and local conferences would not survive.  In the past 10 years

I

have gotten as much or more from vendor sponsored courses as I have

gotten

from non-vendor courses.  I say let them advertise all they want to

offer

FREE educational courses.

I was not going to make a comment as I know Jamie and this is one time I

must

disagree with him.  We have invited Innovex to speak at the Region II

meeting

in Delaware and have had great response to the talk.  I am one of the

people

doing animal IHC and I will admit I need help with some of the areas no

one

addresses with large animals.  No One in the clincal companies offer

enough

help for this area so I for one can hardly wait to go to this workshop

and

get

more information.  I can always tailor it to my needs or know more about

what

to do with some issues. I will still be free to buy from whomever I wish

as

the

class does not commit or any other attedee to the company itself.  I

hope

they

start to annouce here soon and I know it will be in my post to HistoNet

about

the meeting.  Pam Marcum
