The calendar says spring is here, but the scene out of my window says it’s Christmas. No use complaining; I’ve tried, and no one does anything about it anyway.

The year is roaring by at full speed. So many things have happened since the last Bio Bulletin. In less than a week, Saskatchewan delegates will be travelling to BIO 2013 in Chicago, IL. With typically 15,000+ attendees, this is the largest bioscience meeting in the world and a great place to connect with companies and individuals from around the globe.
