Biotechnology Faces of Success

Graduates of Community and Technical Biotechnology Programs continue to find rewarding careers in the biotechnology industry.  We showcased some of them on a panel at the Community College Workforce Day at the BIO Conference in San Diego.  The presentations from eight successful workers are posted on the Bio-Link website at www.bio-link.org.  We will also have biotechnician representation at the ATE-PI meeting in Washington, DC at the end of October.

If you have success stories from your program, I would love to hear about them.  

Does your biotech class have a blog?

Many teachers are exploring the idea of setting up blogs for the classroom and sometimes, having the students blog themselves.

One interesting side effect is that scientists and researchers might just drop by, have a look, and leave a comment.

I'm collecting a list of classroom science blogs. If you've got a classroom blog, drop by Discovering Biology in a Digital World and leave your URL for the list.

Finding a job in life sciences: Dr. Elaine Johnson talks about the easiest way to a biotech career

Originally posted in Discovering Biology in a Digital World

A little over ten years ago, Dr. Elaine Johnson obtained funding from the National Science Foundation to start Bio-Link, an Advanced Technology Education center, focused on biotechnology. Since that time, Dr. Johnson has become a national leader in biotech education, enlisting the country's top educators and industry captains to ensure that community college students receive a quality education and the best preparation possible for entering the workforce.

In this radio interview from Tech Nation, Dr. Johnson talks with Dr. Moira Gunn about the easiest way to a biotech career.
