I actually attended this workshop when it was given at a Tri-State meeting
last spring, and I agree with James' remarks below.
Since that time I've received dozens of workshop notices from Innovex, both
directly and through the Histonet, advertising subsequent dates and places.
I wrote to Innovex, asking to be taken off their email list (which they
promptly did). I also wrote to Histonet about it at that time as well,
asking them to look into the appropriateness of advertising Innovex's
workshops here on our site, but I see that the workshop notices are still
being forwarded to all members.
I don't mind being approached individually by companies, but I really don't
think that the Histonet should be used in this manner.
Just my two cents' worth.

I do not know this company, but I do believe that this is blatant
advertising of your products under the false pretense of an animal IHC
staining workshop. I did not think that the Histonet was to be used by
companies for advertising. I do not see other companies that give CEU
approved courses advertising on the Histonet, why should Innovex be
allowed to.
Just my opinion on a busy Monday.
