Correction: The event is on Thursday May 19th, not the 18th.
The next DCbiotech meeting will be at the Redwood Restaurant and Bar in Bethesda, MD on May 19th 2011. Redwoods is at 7121 Bethesda Ave, and we’ll be meeting in the bar area from 6:30-8:30pm. To facilitate finding the group, you may want to check out my photo on the about page.
