UNIVERSITY ENTREPRENEURIAL ASSOCIATIONS ARE THRIVING, and are an exciting new element on campus (or relatively new). When I was at University the concept did not even exist. Young people today are inspired by Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerman, and the fabulous Google founders. These icons have become heroes. Only in the darker corners of the universe remains a lingering suspicion that business and excellence do not mix, especially in the realm of science. http://lnkd.in/6Ar2Da? View in LinkedIn

INSERTING DNA MEMORY CIRCUITS INTO BACTERIA, by using the DNA like a circuit switch, in order to create a rudimentary memory model. This imaginative work is a step towards programming the most populous species on the planet to do directed work for mankind. http://lnkd.in/NdF6gZ View in LinkedIn

EC STARTUPS LOOKING FOR US VC MONEY: A PERSPECTIVE. In reality this is a hard task unless you do your homework and really have your act together, and in sectors like Biopharma, the deal flow has been without a pulse for years. http://lnkd.in/wS2iZi View in LinkedIn

PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE RATHER THAN REACTIVE MEDICINE is a must for the future, as this thoughtful article outlines. However, whether this has truly sunk in is the premise of this author who likens the current industry to the dinosaur newspaper industry, who ignored the digital future. Another analogy would be Kodak. His example of efficiencies in healthcare in Denmark are worthy of note. http://lnkd.in/Csdib3 View in LinkedIn

A TED LECTURE SPEAKER COACH gives pithy insights about how to give a great presentation. If anybody should know the best and worst ways to present, this person does. A MUST READ. http://lnkd.in/_cCGEu View in LinkedIn

A TREMENDOUS GUIDE TO HOW TO NETWORK. After all, it's a big part of why we use LinkedIn, but the reality is that most of us have rather primitive networking skills, and Dale Carnegie's (ancient) book simply made it worse. Use this very helpful modern outline. http://lnkd.in/yDj6iv View in LinkedIn

It also has applications in medicine for peripheral nerve repair. Exciting stuff. http://lnkd.in/QxJBkU View in LinkedIn
