It's suddenly winter, y'all.  Here is my December list of meetings.


IEEE Biotech/Health/Pharma Job Hunt Collaboration 


Our next meeting will be January 26, 2004 - I am skipping the December
meeting. I went to the BioWork Information session on Dec. 1st. A lot of
the people who enroll in BioWork at Wake Tech are not looking for
manufacturing jobs - they either work in biotech already, or they intend
to use BioWork for a career path that doesn't include manufacturing. 
Also, if any of you know very a senior manager who is looking for work,
ISA is searching for an Executive Director. See
