OSU Endophyte Laboratory employees help promote the OSU Laboratory Safety Coat Program.
Employees of the OSU Endophyte Laboratory recently became the faces of a new program at OSU. A photo of the group is featured on the website of the Laboratory Coat Safety Program which provides laboratory coats for all OSU laboratory employees at no charge to their department.
The endophyte lab joined the program to save money. “We do not have to buy lab coats as we get new hires, or people’s sizes change, and/or they just wear out,” says faculty research assistant Anita Holman. “It’s an added bonus that the university pays to have them cleaned and repaired as needed. People have also been very happy about how professional they look, especially when we have visitors.”
The Endophyte Laboratory is a joint project of the College of Veterinary Medicine and the OSU College of Agriculture; it provides testing of animal feed to clinical and commercial clients.
