13th CDC International Symposium on Biosafety

Hopefully everyone made it home (or to their next destination) safely!  We really enjoyed ourselves at the 13th CDC International Symposium on Biosafety, and hope that all of those involved did as well.

This year we had quite a bit of excitement related to "Snowmageddon," but all involved with the symposium worked together and still managed to have a great experience.  We would like to once again thank all those who stepped up to the plate to help in this time of crisis, whether you helped out by giving up a spare bed to a colleague, or gave a presentation on behalf of a speaker who couldn't make it in. This was truly an event to remember! 

We appreciate the relationships we are able to continue to have with our colleagues at the Biosafety Symposium, who always have shown the generosity and kindness people have in the biosafety field.

In the coming weeks you should expect to hear from us regarding symposium presentations being posted on our website.  In the meantime, please post any pictures, comments and feedback on your favorite social media sites... don't forget to use the hashtag #BIOSAFETY 2014

We will get things started with a couple of our favorites here.
