As we immerse ourselves in the captivating world of life Tulip we noted a big gap in the šŸ„¼ Life Sciences (Biopharma/Manufacturing or Pharma) community, weā€™re excited to propose the formation of a User Advisory Committee (UAC) group tailored specifically for Life Sciences! **Hereā€™s why we believe this endeavor is essential and how it can benefit us all:** 1. **In-depth Feedback and Collaboration:** By establishing a UAC group specifically for Life Sciences, we create a dedicated platform for gathering insights, suggestions, and feedback directly from the passionate individuals within our team and the other groups exploring and developing with Tulip. This feedback loop not only fosters collaboration but also ensures that the tools, features, and resources we develop align closely with the needs and aspirations of our life sciences community! 2. **Enhanced Product Development:** The field of life sciences is dynamic and ever-evolving, requiring tools and solutions that keep pace with the latest advancements. Through active participation in the UAC group, team members can contribute valuable perspectives and ideas for enhancing existing features or developing new ones that cater specifically to the nuances of life sciences research and exploration! 3. **Community Empowerment and Ownership:** By actively involving the Life Sciences individuals in the decision-making processes through the UAC group, we empower each member to take ownership of the tools and resources weā€™re building together. This sense of ownership fosters a deeper connection to our work, strengthens team cohesion, and ultimately leads to the creation of solutions that truly resonate with our community. As we embark on this journey together, letā€™s leverage the collective expertise, passion, and creativity to shape the future of life sciences/pharma šŸ§¬ exploration through Tulip. If youā€™re enthusiastic about contributing to this initiative and shaping the direction of where Tulip is going comment below and tag your friends! ---

Great idea. What format is used for the UAC? Do you plan to schedule separate meetings where the interested parties convene? ---

Love the idea, Zoe! This is definitely something Tulip Community can work on getting set up as a user group to provide more support, along with opportunity for peer to peer learning and connection among LS Tulip users. I will reach out to you, @ASharp-J, and @kefl to get insights into what you all would find valuable in terms of group structure, meeting topics, etc. Initial thoughts are that a group like this would meet virtually on a regular cadence (quarterly for example) and we would cover topics from Tulip features / product feedback, successful use cases from peers using Tulip, best practices for deploying in regulated environments, etc. Anyone else interested, feel free to chime in with your ideas as well! ---

This is great! Iā€™m hoping this become a place not just around product but about deploy/adopt strategy. ---

Hi folks! @ZAP @ASharp-J @kefl @michaelrcody @gil @Ilan @ctownkyle @william.miller I would love to talk to each of you a bit more about what you would like this group to look like / how it can provide you the most value. You can set up a time that works for you on my calendar here: [Calendly - Beth Stayduhar](https://calendly.com/beth-stayduhar/1-1-chat). Looking forward to talking about this more so we can get this going šŸ™‚ ---

Hi @Beth the Tulip Super Star, Iā€™ve been chatting with some people from this thread, and weā€™re all eager to hear a status update on how this initiative is progressing! I know youā€™ve been doing some fantastic work reaching out individually and building leadership groupsā€”so any news is exciting as we work toward getting this rolling. Even just the creation of tags would be an amazing step forward, and it would be awesome to announce this innovative approach and Life Science Advisory group at the upcoming Tulip Operations Calling event _(also anyone that hasnā€™t registered you can check it out [here](https://www.operationscalling.com/))_! Looking forward to hearing how we can support getting this initiative off the ground! šŸ˜ŗ ---

Hi David and @ZAP ! Thanks for the bump on this. We have been having conversations internally about this group and it has not been forgotten! It makes me really excited to see the energy for this group and it will be a priority to support and get it formally going after Ops Calling. That being said, as a more immediate action, I can create a Life Sciences Group that you folks can join on Community. Once you join that, you will have access to your own category to chat, ask questions, and get to know one another. You will also get a title next to your name that shows ā€œLife Sciencesā€ that way, wherever you post on the forum, people can see you are a Life Sciences person. How would that sound?? ---

Thanks for the update! Weā€™re excited to start there and keep the momentum going. We know youā€™re juggling a lot, and we really appreciate all the effort youā€™re putting in. **Weā€™re eager to help empower this group to form organically and grow in its own unique way.** The Life Sciences Group sounds like a perfect first step, and weā€™re thrilled to see it come together! Weā€™re ready to dive in, and we canā€™t wait to see the community grow and thrive. Letā€™s keep things rolling! ---
