Hosts: Elizabeth Rodziewicz, Sura Hadi, Jeff Nagle, and Mike Ouren

The Helical Brew Crew is back with a new episode and also back on schedule with weekly releases. Enjoy!

In this episode: 

-Sura and Mike are in an unofficial competition for who does more episodes out of hotel rooms.  Sura 1 Mike 2

-Jeff talks about how crazy of a concept it is to let other people populate his calendar with the Bookings app.  A new trend is upon us!

-Mike is trying to get everybody to move to Nevada.  

-We do a quick review of LRIG, Future Labs, and local meetup events happening in the laboratory automation community.  Elizabeth talks about how LRIG Canada is growing and expanding its reach.  

-For the main topic, the Brew Crew scratches the surface of a topic that comes up often in laboratory automation:  “Automation Friendly”.  It’s a concept that has so many different interpretations and meanings mainly because it’s left to the vendors to define what those words mean to their products.  

-Helical Brew is planning to do a show on the road in the near future, with all four of us in the same room together!
