Book Talk at Reiter's in Washington DC, May 19

Tomorrow evening, May 19th, I will give a short talk about my recent book Biology is Technology at Reiter's Books  in Washington DC, followed by discussion and refreshments.  Among other issues, I will discuss updated figures for the impact of biotech and bioengineering on the US and world economies, the impact of the recent BRCA 1/2 gene patent decision, garage biotech, biosecurity, and regulation.

I look forward to seeing you there -- please bring hard questions.
