I think it’s safe to say that 2016 has been a rollercoaster year. As we anxiously anticipate what 2017 has in store, I would like to reflect on some of Babcock Labs’ highlights of this past year, including but not limited to: NELAP accreditation, serving on ELTAC for the California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP), presentations at the 2016 National Environmental Monitoring Conference (NEMC), addressing water conservation and quality issues, corporate social responsibility efforts including STEM education, ESOP month, and more.
