SAB NewsThe Science Advisory Board Celebrates Reaching 20,000 MembersPosted 4/26/2004 As The Science Advisory Board commemorates reaching its 20,000-membership goal, I would like to highlight the many ways in which our members have helped build a dynamic, online community representing scientists and allied health professionals from 62 countries. Our achievement marks us as one of the largest scientific and medical portals on the Internet. Since our founding in 1997, your contributions have made the Web site the place to go to for sharing information, opinions and insights with your colleagues from around the world! This information includes profiles of scientists and medical professionals in the Member Spotlight column; book, website and product reviews; discussions on science, medical and policy issues in the Discussion Forum; editorials on cutting edge or controversial topics in the Perspectives column; and job and curricula vitae postings. As a member of The Science Advisory Board, you have been part of a virtual community of life science and medical professionals that regularly expresses its opinions about the tools and technology of the life sciences industry. These opinions—as obtained through Science Advisory Board-sponsored studies—are already shaping production and development of products in the life sciences industry. The Science Advisory Board is a positive force influencing the future conduct of science and medicine. Everyone in the medical and life sciences community has opinions to share about the tools and techniques of their profession. The Science Advisory Board is the forum to facilitate this sharing be it through expressing your opinions in an online survey, writing a product review or participating in a discussion forum. The Science Advisory Board makes all of these avenues of information sharing—plus many more—not only possible, but also easy and rewarding. Some of these rewards include professional networking, exclusive previews of new technologies, compensation through the ViewPoints rewards program, consulting opportunities with The Science Advisory Board, and access to a vast array of employment resources, including our new Career Center. Thanks for spreading the word about The Science Advisory Board. Currently, our new goal is to reach 25,000 members by the end of 2004—just 5,000 new members in a little over six months. We’re confident we can realize this ambitious target with your help. Over the next few months, we’ll be promoting opportunities whereby you can share the resources the Science Advisory Board has to offer with your friends and colleagues and receive extra ViewPoints for membership referrals. The staff at The Science Advisory Board looks forward to your continued contributions to its studies and website! Tamara R. Zemlo, Ph.D., M.P.H.
