Dear Friends, I am writing my last president’s letter in April 2020. 2020 will stand out as a banner year for challenges to the SIVB.

2020 World Congress on In Vitro Biology – Final Program Update

Missing the In-Person 2020 World Congress
It is with great sadness that the SIVB board made the decision to cancel this year’s in person meeting of the SIVB. As a long-time member – and as president elect! – the annual meeting is one of the highlights of my year!
