Hey LoS! I'm getting back into the job search again after having my first child and there's a company that I'd really like to work for. One thing that's common in all of their positions, especially the ones I'm interested in/qualified for, is at least a familiarity with GLP (Good Laboratory Practices).

From what I've gathered at the wikipedia page, these are standards that are used in research labs and companies that develop drugs for human and animal use. I have not, as yet, worked in a lab that does this specifically. My experience is in academic research (bacteria and astrobiology) and government work (food safety and testing).

Is anyone here familiar with GLP and could explain it to me? I hesitate to ask ELI5 but at least enough in plain speak that I could apply my current experience in an application to this company and let them know that I'm at least familiar and can implement GLP even if I haven't worked specifically with those standards yet? I'm pretty sure not really being familiar with GLP is what lost me the job that I interviewed for a year or so back and I'd like to not repeat that experience ;)

Thanks in advance! (x-posting)
