If you haven’t been keeping up with the BiotechNOW podcasts during Bio09 this week, make sure you check them out. (They make for great listening on your way to Memorial Day festivities.)

First, there was a great overview of the Scientific American WorldVIEW Project, which generated a ton of buzz at Convention. Click HERE to download and listen. Then check out the full Worldview Scorecard, which identifies “the global leaders in biotechnology and…provide[s] a framework that…measure[s] the progress and potential of countries—especially ones that are not currently regarded as world leaders.”

You can also download a podcast of BIO CEO Jim Greenwood’s State of the Industry Address. He explained why he remains optimistic for the industry despite a year of economic and policy challenges.

Finally, if you missed all the chatter around the groundbreaking Battelle Report on the state of science and technology education, make sure you check out this podcast with Mitch Horowitz. You can also read the report HERE.
