Tell Your Story – Earn $25 For Charity

We started IAmBiotech.org as a place for the biotech community to come together, share their stories, and discuss issues impacting the industry. We hope you have enjoyed hearing the perspectives we’ve brought you so far, but now we want to hear YOUR stories as well.

As a part of the IAmBiotech.org community, we’re inviting you to submit your story.

For every story that we post on IAmBiotech – or our sister site, What Can Biotech Do For You? – we will donate $25 to charity. You can choose from a list of participating charitable organizations below or suggest one for us to add to the list. (subject to review)

Your contribution will help these groups heal, feed, and fuel the world – a cause we can all agree on!

Specifically, we’re looking for personal posts that address:

• (a) your views on the promise of biotech;
  (b) your personal story of how and why you are working in biotech; and
  (c) how your work has (or will soon) touch people’s lives.

(We are NOT looking for routine corporate announcements or promotions of particular events, websites etc.)

We also strongly encourage (indeed, favor!) the inclusion of photos, audio and video files.

Biotech is by and for people. And it is the stories of people like you that we’re looking for.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Your IAmBiotech.org Editors
