I wanted to thank all of the Canadian AUTM members who were able to make it to the annual meeting this year. With a strong contingent of Canadians and members from around the world the 2009 AUTM annual meeting is already being hailed as a resounding success in the face of difficult economic times and some harrowing travel tales. From engaging plenary sessions to enlightening sessions ranging from Global Health initiatives to the state of tech transfer in France I know that I have, once again, had the opportunity to add to my personal knowledge base. I am also looking forward to hearing what new tunes the Infringers bring to the stage tonight. Stay tuned for more notes from off the top of my head.
