Keep CALM and Carry On
“What CALM has helped me with is the ability to be connected with other state and industrial metrologists from all across the country. This enables me to get valuable feedback from people who understand what I do. It has created a collaborative environment where you do not feel embarrassed for asking questions or for help. Actually, it makes me feel that my Lab is larger than what it is, with the knowledge base that is within the group. I know this is a tremendous amount of work for you and Lisa. Keep up the good work.” – Joel Lavicky, NE “CALM came in clutch when we were exploring different weighing designs. Having the real- time, nationwide feedback revealed concerns that were not yet on our radar, making our final approach more solid and well-rounded!” – Whitney Corley, LA “As a one person lab it’s difficult to solve all of the issues that need solving; for instance, discussions about environmental equipment have saved me hours of research. Instead of being by myself, I have a whole community of experience at my back.” – Leslie German, WA “CALM is a great forum for legal metrologists to receive training, share ideas, and is a great resource to ask and get answers to metrology questions. Kudos to Kate and Lisa for creating CALM. As a metrologist who has been in the system a long time I’ve always reached out to others when necessary, but this is a quick, efficient way to get everyone’s feedback on a topic. It’s too bad this hasn’t been around longer.” – Aaron Aydelotte, OR
