Refer Me Please!

While I do enjoy doing this site for the benefit of mankind, I always appreciate additional support be it monetary or clinic information. 

I have been told that some clinics need a phone number from the referrer for additional contact information.  So I have a new business phone for that purpose!  So, if you would like to use me as your referral source, use the information below! 

And thanks to those who already have!

If you wish to contact me, please do so via email as my phone seems to not work all the time and messages have been garbled. 

This is a PO box, not where I live!  So don't stop by expecting to see me!
You may also send donations / contributions to the above address in the form of a money order.

As always, thanks to everyone for mentioning my site!

Buy a T-Shirt, a mug or a hat!  Profits goes to support this site!

It has come to my attention that this site may not be the most user friendly site on the net.  My apologies!  I'm one of those types of people who want to pack as much detail into a site as possible.  I could write a 10 page essay on apples!  So, I have put together a few videos to help you fine folks out.

Some Changes To The Clinic Profile Pages

Return to Top

You may have noticed some changes to the clinic profile pages.  This has led to a little confusion but hopefully not too much.  You will notice that under volunteer amenities,  internet access and housing that there are entries that are hard to read.  This is meant to be a template and means that no information is known yet.  If there is dark text, then that means that the clinic has those features.  This also corresponds to the feedback form if you wish to add information about a clinic. 

And finally, there's been a lot of frustration among lab rats about what this site does for the world.  Certainly, the more people who find out about clinical research, the more people who try to get into studies.  Clinical research is still a growing industry and the more people who are interested in participating will lead to more studies and more clinics.  So yes, there will be periods with more people than slots available but that has almost always been the case.  Ultimately, the more people interested in clinical research, the more drugs will be sent through the pipelines.  It would seem to be a win/win situation for everyone.

There is a reporter in Washington working on an article about humans being used to test pesticides.  If you have done such a study or know anything about them, feel free to contact Larry via email.
