Wet Lab Interest List

Join the Interest List Sign up to be notified about upcoming hands-on training opportunities and be notified if space becomes available in a scheduled wet lab. Interest list notifications are sent when a spot opens at least 36-48 hours in advance. Your registration also helps us plan future trainings. By sharing your interest and location, you signal where additional wet labs may be most useful -- especially in areas we don't currently have any offerings. Interested in Last-Minute Openings? We also maintain a standby list for individuals who can attend on very short notice—sometimes the morning of the event. If you're local and flexible, please email brianna@unitedspayalliance.org to request placement on the standby list for a particular event. Standby alerts are sent via text, so please include the specific event you're interested in, your mobile number, and permission to text you.
