 The
Council for Biotechnology Information has launched a
blog dedicated
to agricultural biotechnology news and information for the
2009 BIO International Convention
in Atlanta, Georgia, May 18 to May 21. Leading up to and during
the Convention the site will provide information on
agricultural-related panels at BIO, interviews with
panelists,
specifics on their presentations and their contact
information.
In addition to covering the panel topics and presenters at the
Convention the site will feature "from-the-field"
updates on the planting season from Georgia farmers who
benefit from the use of agricultural biotechnology.
One of the farmers providing updates,
Jimmy Webb, a cotton, corn and peanut farmer from Leary,
Georgia, will speak at the Convention on the "Plant
Biotechnology's Role in Advancing Sustainable Development" panel
on Thursday, May 21.
The site will also highlight
news stories on agricultural biotechnology that will
influence and shape the discussion at the Convention.
Please
visit the site often before and during the Convention and
follow us on Twitter.
The Council for Biotechnology Information communicates
science-based information about the benefits and safety of
agricultural biotechnology and its contributions to sustainable
development. For more information, visit
