Dear Colleagues and Friends:
Although it is widely accepted that biomedical research drives innovation and fuels the U.S. economy, it is equally true that Congress and state legislators want to hear from scientists how the dollars allocated for research are making an impact. Mindful of this fact, I joined our government relations team for the annual “SA to DC”
trip
(Feb. 4-7) led by our San Antonio Chamber of Commerce in partnership with other area chambers, businesses, city/county leadership and representatives from local research institutes and universities.
