You mean...I'm not the only protector of innovation?

Good afternoon all. Yesterday evening, after my incredibly educational and enlightening visit to The University City Science Center, I navigated my Helixpod 300.1 miles west, under the direction of my BioStrength Locator, to Pittsburgh. Upon initial inspection of the G-20 welcome banners, I realized that of the twenty flags represented, the Banner of Beakeris was not included. I say, fair and democratic people of this assembly, include Beakeris in your 2010 summit! Create the G21! Let the voices of double-helixes everywhere be heard!

Yesterday, I thought I would be arriving in a true ‘city of steel’, however this city seems to me more like an epicenter of innovation, and as you all know, I am the investigator of all things interesting, and the protector of all things innovative. I shall make my objective known to you, innovative people of this incredible metropolis of Pittsburgh, I am here to protect your innovations, and your innovators!

Since my arrival here, I have had the pleasure of visiting the medical device cluster, as well as many research institutions; including the University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, Carnegie Mellon, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, The Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, which is developing incredible technology which will help US troops and the global population (…hopefully Beakeris too.) This research institution is leading the way in the research on tissue engineering, cell therapy, and medical devices that are crucial in the development of regenerative therapies that will seek to repair diseased or damaged tissue and organs. On top of that, the University of Pittsburgh is researching the use of lymph nodes to one day produce liver cells, pancreatic cells, and other vital tissues. This information is unbelievable. I must make a transmission back to The Assembly at once…but wait…I can’t without mentioning some of my other findings.

It was undoubtedly one of the most astounding things when I learned about the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse, and their dedication to their companies and to the region. This life science greenhouse has worked with more than 300 companies and has committed 121 direct investments in 60 companies, which total $14.7 million. But what amazed me even more is the fact that those direct investments have already been leveraged into $500 million in additional capital which has helped advance regional economic growth. The PLSG and its employees seem to be much like me…true protectors of innovation!

My BioStrength Locator was immediately reading some of the highest levels I have ever recorded. 85,347 B.S.U…B.S.U. being the abbreviation for Bioscience Strength Units of course…I thought that something must be malfunctioning within my B.S.L. I was wrong. After my visit, I was sure that nothing was wrong with my BioStrength Locator, and as I came to find out, Beakeris has much to learn from all of Pittsburgh’s incredibly innovative institutions.

I can not remove the thought of Biotech 2009 from my brain. With all of these medical device companies here, I am sure I will see some of these great innovators in the drug delivery, device, and diagnostics sessions, which are planned for Monday, November 16…and wait…with such close proximity, 305.44 miles to the Pennsylvania Convention Center…everyone should be there! The Grand Centrifugium Assembly has already sent a response in regards to my findings from The City of Bioscience...err..umm..Brotherly Love, and are anxiously anticipating my next transmission so I must be on my way. I am programming my BioStrength Locator to pick up signals from the state of New Jersey. The Bioscience strength east of here seems to be reading at an unprecedented level. I will keep you posted on my findings.

Until next time.
