CAST show and how to find good employees

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

As has become tradition, United Scientific exhibited at the CAST show in Houston, TX a couple of weeks back.  Once again, Frank Butcher and his team knocked it out of the park.

The venue was perfectly sized and connected to the "host hotel".  We had a great booth position and welcomed approximately 7000 Texas Science Teachers.  United debuted its new look with a brand new booth setup complete with enough boards to show all four of their top selling genetics kits:  Mitosis Manipulatives, Recombinant DNA Manipulatives, Meiosis Manipulatives, and Protein Synthesis Manipulatives.

We also showed the new STEM series of Chemistry Kits.  First kits we showed were Chromatography, Science of Invisible Inks, and pH Indicators and Dyes.  We received excellent feedback.  I believe next year we'll do some workshops with this series of kits.

It was great to see our dealers at the show in full force too.  Lots of good times with great people.

On a closing note, as many of you know, I am a coach and on the board of our local youth wrestling team and found a great article you may find interesting as you look to hire new employees:
