Visit from BD

[Lisa Scheifele]

Hi all,

 

We have two representatives from the biotech company BD coming on Saturday between 10 and 2. One is bringing her 7 and 9-year olds to participate in the Agar Art activity, so I wanted to make sure you knew to plan for them Sarah.

 

They’re interested in BUGSS and what we do and in potentially providing funding. Tom, I believe you said that you couldn’t be there this Saturday? I told Sarah I would help with the Agar Art activity (do we have enough participants and do you need my help?), so if we had 1-2 more Board members who could be here to speak with the BD folks, give them a sense of what we do, and provide them with funding ideas that would be much appreciated since this could be a great opportunity.

 

Thanks!

Lisa

Hi Lisa

I may be there as I think the mushroom group may be meeting Saturday morning...have to verify that.  Any more details about the BD people and what their funding interests may be could be useful.

Thanks

Deb

Hi All,

I won't be able to make it, unfortunately. I am already committed to being at a MICA fundraising event all day.

Hi Lisa, 

Sorry I can't make it- I'm out of town this weekend. 

Good luck,

Deb, if you could be there that would be great.  The BD people are Steve Kaiser and Ainy Haider-Shah-some info is here:

Don’t know what their funding interests are-he seems to have a background in K-12 STEM, so they might be interested in iGEM, but when I spoke with him, I just gave him an overview of all of our programming.

 

Thanks

Lisa
