A FUTURISTS FORUM? What a delightful concept. Are the traditional publishing industry and hardcopy newspapers about to become museum entries? Will airline pricing become a level playing field? Will your genome code affect how you live and marry? Are pundits wrong that the cities will be major population centers in the future? How will Distance Learning affect workforces? Will we generate fresh organs in test tubes? What impact will a small earth have? Will we turn oceans into fresh water? Will we start to mine the universe? Fascinating room for futurist speculations. http://lnkd.in/i-TmCj View in LinkedIn

BIOSPRING BARCELONA is a testament to the status of the biopharma industry in Catalunya, and to the years of very successful public and private initiatives and investment in the sector. I have posted this before but it bears repeating: CATALUNYA FEELS LIKE BOSTON IN 1989, when the biotech industry took off in the US. I was there. It has infrastructure, universities, an entrepreneurial culture, and sources of early capital. There is a tangible buzz of excitement here. This city is going to make a mark in biopharma history. http://www.biocat.cat/en/news/montserrat-vendrell-we-must-take-advantage-sectors-global-pushing-drive-already-existing-projects-and-promote-new-initiativ View in LinkedIn

THE FRENCH ANTIPATHY TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP appears to be thawing, thanks to women entrepreneurs. This trait exists in Spain and Japan also, where being part of the group and not "unusual" trumps starting a new company. Together with an antipathy to the word 'ambition' which can be read as 'greed', these old ways are very slowly eroding, and possibly faster in The Crisis. http://lnkd.in/J9thYv View in LinkedIn

The obesity epidemic needs no rocket science to unravel: it is our appalling food choices. Let's get smart about nutrition. http://lnkd.in/_5BCPK View in LinkedIn
