The weather outside is frightful, but the SLC is so delightful...

Yep! It's winter alright. If you're trying to think of ways to overcome cabin fever, why not browse the SLC or better yet - write a post! I've said it before and I'll say it again... November was a month FILLED with incredible content. One of the most exciting posts of November was An Overview of Isight Usage at 3M provided by customer, Jennifer Trice! We love hearing from customers and hope to see more posts like Jennifer's. Additionally, November could be tagged "Tech Tip Month" on account of the eight incredible and extremely useful tech tips that were contributed. If that's not exactly what you're looking for, why not check out the latest SCC presentation videos and commentaries. Cheryl Liu tells us about life sciences and Marc Schrank discusses Audi and powertrain components. There is always something for everyone in the SIMULIA Learning Community!
