#Biotech contributes more than 2% of US GDP. Note the huge contribution from industrial products, especially renewable biochemicals, in the mix in addition to biologics (drugs) and crops. #bioeconomy @ontariogenomics @rob_carlson nitter.siddz.com/rob_carlson/status/953…
Congrats to @fredsensetech for the recent funding from @AccelerateFund for their #synbio-based portable water testing instrument! synbiobeta.com/accelerate-fu…
