Texas' biotech revenge, or how I missed my MacBook Pro

There was a lot of chatter from various regions at last week’s Biotechnology Industry Organization’s convention in Boston about why they were the place to put your biotech enterprise.

A lot of them made sense – and they were doing almost anything to show their biotech love. Beer. Trinkets. Chocolate. Popcorn. Bags. More beer. Wine.

Texas gave away a new MacBook Pro. What the heck, I thought, as I let a woman behind a counter scan my convention badge the previous day to enter my name in the raffle.
