Education
Impromptu classes
Short live sessions between certification cycles - scheduled as topics arise, recorded, and archived with citations. Open to certified members and to the public where noted.
Session formats
Workshop
60 min
Reading a certificate of analysis line by line
A real COA on screen: HPLC chromatogram, mass spec confirmation, water and acetate content, and the three most common fabrication tells.
Journal club
45 min
Appraising a peptide paper you found online
Study design, sample size, model organism, conflicts of interest, and the distance between an in vitro result and a clinical claim.
Lab clinic
60 min
Reconstitution, aliquoting, and cold chain
Sterile technique, diluent selection, volume math, labeling discipline, and stability record keeping.
Briefing
30 min
Regulatory update: what changed this quarter
Warning letters, compounding designations, scheduling actions, import alerts, and sport-prohibition changes, with citations.
Roundtable
45 min
Ethics of the human-use line
Where research ends, why the Foundation draws the line where it does, and how to respond when someone asks you to cross it.
How sessions work
- Announced by email to members and posted here at least 48 hours ahead.
- Recorded and archived with the slide deck and citation list, so a claim can always be traced to its source.
- Attendance is logged toward continuing-education hours for recertification once the credential is live.
- No session covers dosing, administration to humans or animals, or sourcing. Questions in that direction are answered by pointing at the legal and risk page.
