Happy New Year: Looking Back, Looking Forward
2020 – what a year it has been! Here at BioscienceLA, our small but growing team has been sharing updates throughout the year, helping to tell the growing story of life sciences innovation in the greater Los Angeles region.
In a year filled with challenges, we have been inspired by the collaboration that we see every day in LA. We are excited to see how our diverse community can continue to develop and launch new technologies that will save lives. And, especially in the midst of pandemic, we have been humbled by our industry’s ability to make a difference one person at a time. We expect even more of that in 2021.
As the year winds down, we wanted to share some of our favorite reflections on 2020 and predictions for 2021, from some of our friends near and far. And, in case you missed our year-end email newsletter, we wanted to share that here as well. If you are not a subscriber already, please add your email address below under “Stay Updated.”
