I am a public affairs consultant. Some of my clients are Biotech companies and Genome geniuses. I started receiving your publication as a professional resource to keep up to date on a sense of the community and what you consider "breaking news."

I do want to say just how much I enjoy reading the magazine. It is direct, contemporary and tongue-in-cheek at times with your own industry. Even the most technical articles have a readability level for a "commoner" like myself. Thanks for the info, thoughtful fun, and serious work you do.
