top of my head stuff:
1. there is beginning to be a serious proliferation of DIY science centers at least in the field of synthetic biology (those guys are capable of doing anything from biochem to cell bio, so they could work on these jobs.) you guys are in a good spot to take advantage of this growing network!
2. the name is just not going to fly. period. change it.
3. my first thought is "bullshit" when i read this, so your first page should basically be a testmonial: the most legit sounding scientist you can find saying how awesome his experience with your thing was. i know you're in beta and you can't do this yet, but remember you will be battling for legitimacy in a notoriously conservative community.
4. a question: what kind of thing do you see people getting done on this site? a certain category of experiments in my field (sequencing, synthesis, etc.) are already commoditized. are you aiming for somewhat more complicated stuff? make it clear.
- tren 16y ago1. Thanks for the recommendation, duly noted 2. Yes, seems to be the most common recommendation 3. Any ideas how you'd get this to happen? 4. I thought it would be used by primarily by college students wanting to make some cash and by companies seeking to outsource extra/menial work
- abhikshah 16y ago"Scientific Outsourcing" does not say "college students" or "extra/menial work to me". Based on the tagline, I would expect something more like consultants with MS or PhD who do freelance research projects.
