BioME November 2020 Newsletter

This Week:

ME Bioscience Day 2020

We have reached over 5,100 students from 46 Maine middle schools this week.

Unlike in previous years, we were not able to send our companies to middle schools in 2020. Instead, we produced 3 ME Bioscience Day video presentations featuring Patrick Breeding (Marin Skincare), Chuck Lubelczyk (MMCRI), and Tori Denis (IDEXX). Science teachers across the state have been using these videos both in their classroom and virtually this week.

Check out the ME Bioscience Day videos on our website!

BioME had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Nirav Shah, Director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC), at the November BioME Virtual Coffee Hour.

During the Coffee Hour, Dr. Shah gave updates on the coronavirus, answered audience questions, and told us why he loves to live and work in Maine.

Overall, working with the bioscience community in Maine has been a great experience for Dr. Shah. “It’s been outstanding,” he says. “We’ve had wonderful success and partnership with the laboratory, research, and academic communities.”
