AACC Academy's Scientific Shorts (formerly NACB Blog) is sponsored by the AACC Academy to engage clinical laboratory professionals in discussion of contemporary laboratory issues and practice and, where possible, to present solutions and best practices.
Each entry includes a written statement, information about the author, and related resources. Topics are identified by the Academy's Scientific Shorts Editorial Board and content is authored by Academy Fellows or other content experts.
Scientific Shorts are open to all laboratory professionals.
