Webinars are such an amazing educational opportunity, and a great way to gather useful tips and insight on new (or new to you) lab techniques. Here are some links to a few I've watched, and some I hope to watch sometime soon. What a great resource, I am so enamoured with webinars!
If you have others to suggest, please let me know, this is a work in progress.
AAAS/Science: AAAS has put up a variety of webinars, definitely leaning toward biomedical interests from what I can see, but there are still a few useful ones for the geomicrobiologically inclined. I watched the webinar on the qPCR MIQE guidelines a few months ago. It was really well put together, the presentations were by experts in the field, with practical suggestions, and a chance for feedback from those watching the presentations. Plus you can view them anytime after the presentation on the AAAS/Science website: http://www.sciencemag.org/site/marketing/webinar/
Sigma-Aldrich: Sigma and co have put up a barrage of webinars. I've watched a few on qPCR and I thought they were great, they range from beginner to expert level. They also offer webinars on topics such as HPLC, proteomics, and synthetic chemistry. Hopefully more webinars are coming? Hint hint Sigma! I found their sign up and log in procedure for the qPCR seminars was a bit maddening but worth the time (I think if you bookmark each seminar you can skip the hassle of signing in too!)
NACE webinars: corrosion themed, one to explore http://events.nace.org/webinars/OnDemand/upcoming.asp
APECS webinars - weekly career development webinars from the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists. Easy sign up, user friendly interface with chat, the speaker will address viewers chat comments in real time. Small enough groups that during the Q&A session your questions will get answered! Past webinars are archived and can be watched on demand. More info here: http://apecs.is/webinars
