A very life sciences Christmas
Friday, 25 December, 2009
On behalf of the Australian Life Scientist team, we wish you all the best for yourself and your family this Christmas, and hope for a prosperous new year.
2009 has been a momentous year for the life sciences and biotechnology industry in Australia.
We've seen the impact of the global financial crisis, come and then start to wane. We've seen on of our own awarded with a Nobel Prize. And there have been hundreds of pioneering discoveries made by Australian scientists and biotechnology firms.
We expect 2010 to be no less eventful.
We'll be back in the new year to cover all the big turning points in the industry and keep you up to date with the latest happenings in the life sciences.
And, of course, we welcome your input and feedback to make Australian Life Scientist even better.
Best wishes from the ALS team - and see you in 2010!
