What’s New on the MBL Website
Recent updates from MBL Web Editor/Designer David Gallagher
In addition to the many daily updates that are made to the MBL website–seminar listings, community events, press releases, and even the week’s menu at Swope–several major changes have been made to the site in recent months.
Human Resources:
Updates include the “Staff Toolbox,” an area with HR policies, forms, publications, benefits information, a staff activities page, and links to the online timesheet.
Online Gift Shop:
Shoppers can now browse the MBL Associates Gift Shop from the comfort of their own home. The online gift shop offers secure payment, and accepts major credit cards.
Publications:
The spring edition of LabNotes, the latest edition of The New Collecting Net, and 2005 Photography Contest information are now available in the “Publications” section of the website. Look for the 2004 Annual Report to be posted in coming weeks.
Research:

- Avram Hershko’s 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation
