As Executive Director for InnovATBIO, the National Biotechnology Education Center, I feel career awareness, preparing students, and then working with industry to place them into a job is the most important task for our center. I appreciate that this approach is valued in the city of Austin. Biotechnology is growing in Central Texas, we need to recruit and prepare more people for jobs in this Industry. (www.innovatebio.org0
