About

Bench Remarks is independent writing about clinical laboratory work. It covers the operations, the leadership, the money, and the parts of the job that rarely get said out loud. It sits somewhere between a trade journal and a break room conversation.

The articles come from real experience running hospital laboratories. Some are opinion. Some are evidence reviews or hands-on experiments with AI. Some are the practical lessons a new lab leader usually has to learn the hard way.

Sections

• The Outlier: Opinion and hard truths. The lab is healthcare's outlier, and these pieces say what usually goes unsaid.
• Interpret With Caution: Evidence reviews and AI experiments, with the limits stated plainly.
• Off the Bench: Leadership, careers, and management for the people who run labs and the people who want to.
