Francisco. Regional Bio-Link Centers across the country are located in
Seattle, WA; San Diego, CA; San Francisco, CA; Austin, TX; Madison, WI;
Graham, NC; and Portsmouth, NH.
At the SAME-TEC conference
this past July, I had the opportunity to interview Bio-Link Director Dr
Elaine Johnson. In the interview Elaine discusses the work the Bio-Link
Center and Regional Centers are doing to bring students the knowledge and skills essential to the field
as well as the ability to continue with more advanced education in
math, science and engineering.
My
undergraduate background is in Microbiology so I've always had an
interest in biotechnology and related fields. If you are faculty and
considering starting a biotechnology program or maybe a student
thinking about a biotechnology career, you will find her interview very
interesting.
Elaine and her Center's work are outstanding! You can get more information on Elaine and Bio-Link here.
