Happy National STEM Day! To celebrate, we're looking forward to Young Women in Bio-Connecticut's symposium on careers in STEM tomorrow at Southern Connecticut State University. Around 150 students from 5 schools in the greater #NewHaven region will be spending the school day being inspired and motivated to consider careers in #STEM. CEO Jodie Sherman Gillon will be giving the key note address, discussing her career and what led her to success in the STEM field. 

YWIB gives girls the inspiration and support they need to become tomorrow’s leaders in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), something we at BioCT firmly support. Learn more about their work below https://lnkd.in/eSyzJwPP

The new Hallmark movie, Mystic Christmas, was filmed at BioCT Innovation Commons and was the film’s production headquarters last summer. This is the third holiday movie filmed at The Commons, and it is featured in both the café and office scenes. 

Premiering this Saturday, October 28th, the film includes many local attractions and businesses including Olde Mistick Village, Mystic Aquarium, and Mango's Pizza. Learn more below.

The process of bringing a new medicine or treatment to market requires significant expertise and experience – from coordinating clinical trials, to managing the distribution across thousands of pharmacies and sites of care. Biopharmaceutical companies partner together through mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to make this process more efficient so that patients benefit. Recent policy changes could threaten this invaluable process, which is why we’ve joined PULSE (Partnership for the US Life Science Ecosystem), a partnership to promote innovation in the life science ecosystem and balance the conversation around M&A.
