Hi, all,
I am a long time member of ABRF, although now retired and active with the ABRF
Mentoring Program. Back in the day, Vendor sales contacts were not allowed via
the ABRF listserve
The listserve was created so that we could ask each other questions and get and
give help to each other.
I've copied Ken, our ABRF executive director, and Andy our ABRF President on
this to see what current policy is
It would be a shame to have membership not use the listserve for its original
purpose to have to avoid getting unsolicited product information.

Thanks Roxann. I did not realize that I upon joining ABRF was
automatically subscribed to all mailing lists including sequencing.
Though I never posted on these now I will unsubsribe and check if this
will reduce the amount of vendor "spam".

Hello ABRF members&meeting attendees,
Please comment and/or advice if it is normal practice to be contacted by
any vendor from any biotech field (e.g. I am being contacted about
sequencing products). Is it possible to advice/educate vendors (or
likely their marketing/sales reps) that Microscopy/Imaging Core is never
going to purchase any sequencing products. Moreover, their actions most
likely will have just opposite effect than anticipated (at least on me).
Or am I totally wrong and marketing surveys confirm efficiency of such
"blind shooting" tactics? If so, I could tolerate my "lost" time spent
on reading/evaluating such communications.
Best regards,
