Science policy fellowship links
Sheril Kirshenbaum over at The Intersection has posted links to a number of science policy fellowships through various organizations.
I haven't had a chance to look through all of them, but there is certainly a wide variety. If policy is something you're interested in, these will probably be a great resource!

Medical Technology Blurbs
A couple of interesting bits concerning Medical Technology/Clinical Laboratory Science.
1. Went to Monster.com today and typed in "medical technologist". This brought up 575 hits. Not all of them are Med Tech jobs, but a large portion of them are. As I've said before, it's a job which does not have a lot of people competing for those positions. As of a recent study, over 15,000 Med Tech positions remain unfilled.
2. If you plan on getting your Med Tech B.S. degree, Arizona State University might not be the place you want to do it. They're in the process of cutting almost 4 dozen programs, with their MT program being one of the unfortunates. I've blogged about it, and posted a letter from the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) advocacy branch which is asking ASU to reconsider. If you think this vital source of training for good jobs needs to remain open ... click on the link, fill out your information, and have the advocacy group send out emails to the relevant ASU officials for you.
