- LifeSciHub is grateful to have been instrumental in DIA ‘s recent decision to create a new conference attendance pricing category- Independent Contractor Rates- a 25% discount off industry registration rates
- Please, use this to spread the word and put pressure on any and every conference you would like to attend. This is just a little wedge in an otherwise slammed-door. It can shut again very quickly. Please join LifeSciHub in our advocacy for small businesses like you and me! All conferences should have a category for the independent small business workforce. They don’t. They don’t even think they should. That needs to change, along with the massive shifts in workforce changes!
- Passive Revenue Streams: As small independent businesses we should all benefit from “passive revenue streams” and the LifeSciHub Connector is a way to do so. Avail yourself!
- Call For Abstracts: What is the best way to develop business, other than “who you know”? The answer: thought leadership, visibility, putting yourself out there. No better way than to present on an industry hot topic in your domain expertise area. LifeSciHub has created a “Huffington Post” type aggregation of industry conference calls to abstract due dates, roughly categorized by domain expertise, that will hopefully make it easier to submit abstracts. Check out the LifeSciHub info page, here
- Is there a call for abstracts you think should be here but isn’t? Please let us know- sheila@lifescihub.com
- Free Time Tracking Software: Need help with time tracking? LifeSciHub has created a free Time Tracker for all members. If you are paying x/annually for an online time tracking subscription of some sort, use LifeSciHub for free. For more information- sheila@lifescihub.com.
- LifeSciHub’s Radical Transparency– How does LifeSciHub make money, you may ask? See for yourself. LifeSciHub’s entire Profit & Loss statement is reported to all members, including whatever is paid to me, as the administrative manager. This is a profound innovation, challenging industry to align dollars spent with value provided. In the case of paper processing, the value should never be above a 20% markup. Unfortunately it is often in the 50% or 100% range. This incumbent business practice 1) pulls revenue out of small business pockets 2) pulls R&D dollars out of other more patient-productive projects 3) rewards middlemen that return, proportionally far less value, on balance.
