Dr. Jack Schultz, director of the Bond Life Sciences Center, has invited 2007 BIO Benchmarking legislative graduates to a panel presentation during Missouri Life Sciences Week at an event co-sponsored by the Missouri Biotechnology Association. The event will be held on Thursday, April 17, at 3:30 p.m. in Monsanto Auditorium at the MU Bond Life Sciences Center. Although the panel will be similar in format to the presentation in December, we think it will be particularly interesting to hear the legislators' perspectives after having been in legislative session for several months.
