As a registered user, you can start discussions, upload and rate tools as well as leave comments and follow other scientists on LabWorm. You can browse through all the tools as well as search for them by name, collection or popularity. All tools are approved by the website administrators before upload.
scientific publications
The website also contains a blog in which people can read about scientific discoveries and various scientific publications regarding biology and similar sciences.
A great
Improvement
over other websites is that you can message the tool developers and ask them questions about their product or give them feedback. LabWorm asks all owners if they want to leave their contact details for people to contact them in case they have a business inquiry or would like to learn more about their tool.
A weekly newsletter
is available, containing the best rated tools and some other tool suggestions, all sent to your e-mail so that you can have a look at each week’s best.
