Best Practices for Busy Lab Managers (Part II)

A key activity of our Annual Conference is the round table discussion.  At the October 2017 Annual Conference in San Diego, Greg Bowen, ALMA Board Member,  facilitated a discussion on best time management practices for busy lab managers.  Attendees were asked to provide inputs in three areas: What takes up our time?
