We are pleased to announce that we recently received our 10,000th request! To date, scientists, students and consultants from 56 countries have registered and made requests through Scientist.com. We’ve observed a steady increase in site use, with 976 requests made in October alone.

We’ll be making many changes to the network over the next six months. Improvements to look out for include:

Thousands of new service and product listings

New science tags to make searches more efficient

A service/product recommendations feature

New project tracking tools

An improved search engine

Scientist will also be sponsoring a public science competition in Q1 of 2012. Stay tuned for more details!
